GSM-R user procedures (cab radio Version 2)
7.1.2 Receiving an urgent point-to-point call
There may be times when the signaller needs to communicate urgently with you, but the
circumstances do not warrant the use of a railway emergency group call.
The urgent point-to-point call allows the signaller to contact you quickly, as the priority of
the call will automatically end an ongoing call you may be in which has a lower priority,
such as a normal point-to-point call.
The cab radio will respond in the same way as with a normal point-to-point call (see
section 7.1.1) however, the urgency of the call will be displayed.

Connected URGENT
Urgent calls the signaller makes will be announced with the following message.
“This is an urgent call from the signaller at………….. to the driver of (train reporting
number)…”
When you receive an urgent point-to-point call, you must respond to it as quickly as
possible, as long as you can do so safely.
7.1.3 Receiving a railway emergency group call
You might receive a railway emergency group call (see section 2.3.4). If you are already
in a call when the cab radio receives the railway emergency call, your current call will be
terminated and you will join the emergency call. If this happens you should replace the
handset in the cradle and listen to the emergency communication (this action will not
terminate the railway emergency call as you will not be the initiator).
Remember a railway emergency group call must be treated as shown in the rule book
relating to phrases when using a radio in which only one person can be heard at a
time.
The railway emergency group call is split into three clear phases.
The cab radio will answer an incoming urgent
point-to-point call automatically after 2 ring
cycles.
