    The line is primarily split into Two. Froghall - Leekbrook, Leekbrook - Ipstones.

    Ipstones line is operated under OTW with a staff issued. This has an annex key that enables crews to operate the Ground Frame at Ipstones to run-round, plus the Leekbrook Ground Frame to set the FPL for returning to CVR metals.

    Froghall - Leekbrook staff is a combined staff, with 1x staff that operates Froghall GF and another 1x that operates both LBJ GF (North & South) and Chedd Box (which is in effect a GF).

    However Consall can be switched "in" to permit two train running between Froghall and LBJ. This involves the combined staff being split, the Froghall Staff then being used for Consall - Froghall and the LBJ Staff being replaced with a Consall - LBJ token. This then also in essence turns Cheddleton into an Intermediate Block Point.

    There is an Auxiliary machine at Cheddleton that connects with LBJ, allowing a token to be transferred from LBJ to Consall through Cheddleton via the token machines. This "token" is able to operate LBJ GFs and Chedd Yard Frame also.

    Chedd North GF (for access to Chedd P2) currently requires a release from Chedd Box, which isolates the GF in the box and allows the GF North of the crossing to be used. This release can only be given when either the combined staff or a token are in the Frame.
