4. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SUBSYSTEM U.K.
4.2. Functional and technical specifications of the subsystem U.K.
4.2.2. Specifications relating to trains U.K.
4.2.2.1. Train visibility U.K.
4.2.2.1.1 General requirement U.K.
The railway undertaking must ensure that trains are fitted with means of indicating the front and rear of the train.
4.2.2.1.2 Front end U.K.
The railway undertaking must ensure that an approaching train is clearly visible and recognisable as such, by the presence and layout of its lit white front-end lights.
The forward facing front end of the leading vehicle of a train must be fitted with three lights in an isosceles triangle, as shown below. These lights must always be lit when the train is being driven from that end.
The front-end lights must optimise train detectability (marker lights), provide sufficient visibility for the train driver (head lights) by night and during low light conditions and must not dazzle the drivers of oncoming trains.
The spacing, the height above rails, the diameter, the intensity of the lights, the dimensions and shape of the emitted beam in both day and night time operation are defined in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1302/2014 (the ‘rolling stock — locomotives and passenger rolling stock’ TSI (LOC&PAS TSI)) (1) .
4.2.2.1.3 Rear end U.K.
The railway undertaking must provide the required means of indicating the rear of a train. The rear-end signal must only be exhibited on the rear of the last vehicle of the train. It must be displayed as shown below.

The lamps or plates must be on the same height above buffer on the transversal axis.
Member States that require two reflective plates must also accept two steady red lights as train rear-end indication.
Member States that require two steady red lights must also accept two reflective plates as train rear-end indication if the following two conditions are fulfilled in the whole network:
the operational rule for entering a possible occupied block section states that the train drivers shall be able to stop in front of any obstacle, and
there is no requirement that signallers must visually check the presence of a train rear-end device to verify that the train is complete.
4.2.2.1.3.3 Freight trains not crossing a border between Member States U.K.
The Member State must notify the Commission which rules will apply on its network for trains not crossing a border.
