Any Line Open (ALO)

Digitise your ALO process with full COP0032 compliance.

Create, approve, and control Any Line Open plans digitally — complete with maps, risk assessments, and audit trails.

What is Any Line Open?

What ALO means for your teams.

Any Line Open (ALO) refers to work taking place next to a live railway line, where additional safety controls are required under COP0032. Traditionally, ALO plans are managed through paper forms and email attachments, leading to slow reviews, missing approvals, and incomplete audit records. DocuRail brings this entire process online — so every ALO plan is controlled, visible, and compliant in real time.
