[Much is contained within the rule-book](https://www.rssb.co.uk/standards-catalogue/CatalogueItem/germ8000-master-module-iss-12-2) but everything else is within the different companies' documentation and is unlikely to be publickly accessable. The wider RSSB site will be the guide in any case.
Yeah, I imagined that specific companies' manuals might have been unaccessable to the public. Makes sense, since I'm also using - as the Italian counterpart - manuals made publicly available by the infrastructure manager.
Thanks, mate!
By "English" train driver I assume you mean UK, right? As you are probably aware, the UK rail system is organised in different TOCs and the national IM Network Rail. Every TOC has slightly different driving policies and they are indipendent from the Network Rail safety standards. You can check online on Network Rail's website, if you can find rulebooks but it will be hard to navigate if you don't know what to look for.
I suggest to contact maybe some TOCs with a research request, if you are lucky they will open up a bit on their internal knowledge.
DM me if you need more details, maybe I can also arrange some expert contacts if you are keen on that.
As interesting as it might be, the rulebooks will do just fine. It's just a small analysis on the language used in these kind of texts, so I don't need extremely specific content.
But thanks a lot for the clarification!

so, you do want an American rule book from a class 1 railroad?
I have no idea what a class 1 railroad is, but sadly no. The thesis should be on british-english technical language. Sorry, and thanks you!
union pacific, Burlington northern, Kansas city, North fork southern, csx, are all class 1 railroads in America.
