When is the use of the Stop Release Function authorized?

The use of the Stop Release Function is specifically authorized after receiving Rule 241 permission. This rule outlines the conditions under which a train may proceed past a signal that is displaying a stop indication when there is no visibility of the next signal and it is safe to do so. This procedure ensures that safety protocols are followed, preventing unauthorized movement and maintaining compliance with operational rules. By requiring Rule 241 permission, the system ensures that all necessary precautions are taken, and that the train crew has verified that it is safe to proceed beyond the stop signal under specific circumstances.
