Which employees' actions are most frequently influenced by the notice?

The actions of towrmen and motormen are most frequently influenced by notices because these employees are directly involved in the operation and control of train movements. Towermen are responsible for the signaling and safe movement of trains through interlockings and junctions, while motormen operate the trains, responding immediately to any changes in operation or safety protocols. Notices often communicate vital information such as changes in signal status, track conditions, and operational directives that can affect the safe and efficient movement of trains.

In the context of train operations, the direct responsibilities of towrmen and motormen make them particularly susceptible to the immediate implications of any notices issued, as their roles hinge on adherence to the information provided to maintain safety and efficiency in train operations. This contrasts with roles such as conductors and dispatchers, who may also be affected but are less directly tied to the minute-by-minute operational changes that notices typically convey. Similarly, station managers and ticket agents, alongside engineers and maintenance workers, have their functions impacted but may deal more with longer-term operations or customer service rather than immediate operational directives tied directly to train control.
