Division Category B
United Kingdom
RUs/IMs may use ‘B’ as a global category, encompassing carriages of passengers and goods.
Alternatively, RUs/IMs may limit the scope of the certificate to one or more of the following types:
when limited to carriage of passengers;
when limited to carriage of goods.
The category in which the holder is authorised to drive shall be indicated by filling in the appropriate box if a global category is chosen or boxes, if one or more subcategories are chosen. The boxes that are not necessary shall be made void.
Examples:
| A |  | = | global category A. No subcategory used |
| A |  | = | Category A, subcategory 1 (authorisation to drive only shunting locomotives) |
| A |  | = | Category A, subcategories 2 and 3 (authorisation to drive work-trains and maintenance vehicles) |
| A |  | = | Category A, subcategory 5 (authorisation related to service or rolling stock not corresponding to subcategories from A1 to A4. To be specified in the box ‘notes’) |
| B |  | = | global category B, no subcategory used |
| B |  | = | Category B, subcategory 2 (authorisation to drive freight trains) |
Railway Undertakings and Infrastructure Managers shall ensure that the choice of subcategory does not influence the requirements set out in F1Schedules 4 and 5 to the Regulations or Schedules 4 and 5 to the NI Regulations, as the case may be.
