Not UIC, but SNCF/RFF LGV rules, I suspect- at least one of the people
involved in writing them was from SYSTRA. I shall enquire further- my source
for such things should be calling up from CHX very shortly. The SNCF rules
were re-written following an accident in the Morvan, west of Le Creuseot,
when a group of personnel asked for a DPT (Depeche de Protection de Travaux)
to work at the side of one line, but were unwittingly at the side of the
other. Three of the four were killed- the survivor had been closing the
gate.
