Issued by the Superintendent’s Office, York (North Eastern Area) and printed at the LNER Company’s Printing Works, Stratford Market.

Details the official wartime-era-style operational rules for train movements in poor visibility, including telegraph code words (“Vigil”, “Veil”, “Sun”, “Optic”, “Awn”), area reporting structure, and fogmen procedures for York, Hull, Bridlington and Driffield districts.
