Railway Board Directs Zones to Standardise Loco Pilots' Training for Automatic Signalling Areas

In a significant directive, the Railway Board has instructed all railway zones to standardise the training of loco pilots who operate within automatic signalling areas. This decision aims to ensure uniformity and proficiency among loco pilots across the Indian Railways network, thereby enhancing safety and operational efficiency.

The move comes amidst efforts to modernise railway operations and align with global best practices in railway signalling. Standardised training will equip loco pilots with essential skills and knowledge required to navigate automatic signalling systems effectively, minimising human errors and enhancing reliability in train operations.

According to the Railway Board, uniform training protocols will streamline operations, improve communication between loco pilots and control centres, and facilitate quicker adaptation to technological advancements in signalling systems. This initiative is expected to contribute significantly to the overall safety and punctuality of train services across the railway network.

By mandating standardised training, the Railway Board aims to mitigate risks associated with operating in automatic signalling zones while optimising resource utilisation and enhancing passenger and freight transportation efficiency. The directive underscores the board's commitment to adopting modern practices that prioritise safety, reliability, and technological advancement in India's railway infrastructure.
