TSR Information

TSRs (Temporary Speed Restriction) are temporary changes in line speed on the UK rail network. The cause of Temporary Speed Restrictions can vary, the reasons are outlined in our table above.

Some of the common reasons Temporary Speed Restrictions are introduced are:

• Signal and Level Crossing Sighting - Obstructions causing reduced visibility of crossings or signals requiring trains to pass at a slower speed.
• Track Condition - From cyclic top to damaged rails, ballast condition, alignment etc.
• ESRs - Emergency Speed Restrictions if still valid at the time of the site update, should be converted to a TSR.

TSR data is published in the Weekly Operating Notice and as a result, Emergency Speed Restrictions are not part this data unless changed to TSR.

Information shown on the map includes Passenger Speed, Freight Speed, and rough location.

Data included in the table includes:

• Validity period of the TSR
• Passenger and Freight Speeds
• Line and direction
• Notes and comments from the possessions planning team
• Miles chains of the location from and location to. Use the sectional appendixes to pinpoint exact locations, because TSR data does not have exact coordinates and it is not viable to map every inch of the UK rail network.

Temporary Speed Restriction data is updated Friday mornings.

Please note not all TSRs will be shown on the map - only locations where we have successfully been able to map coordinates will be shown. The TSR table shows a complete list.
