Synopsis
As the recent accidents at Ladbroke Grove and Southall have shown, there is nothing more important in railway safety than the efficient and effective use of signalling, However, behind the apparent simplicity of line-side signalling lies the considerable complexity of the numerous safety devices- interlocking, train protection, etc- that are designed to make the system as foolproof as possible and, after each incident, the systems involved are closely examined with a view to learning the lessons in order to avoid repetition in the future. In abc Modern Signalling Handbook (Third Edition), former BRB signalling & safety Officer Stanley hall provides a detailed handbook to the current signalling practice on today's privatised railway system. Covering topics such as the historical development of signalling, methods of signalling, emergencies, speed restrictions and much else, the book provides both enthusiast and professional with an essential guide to contemporary signalling. This new edition has been fully revised in the light of the reports into the accidents at Southall and Ladbroke grove, resulting in it becoming required reading for all signalling staff. The previous edition of abc Modern Signalling Handbook was widely praised, one reviewer commenting that the author had 'done an excellent job of explaining the intricacies of British signalling in a plain and Simple way'. This new and fully revised edition will become the standard basic reference to the subject for enthusiast and professional alike and will further enhance Stanley Hall's credentials as one of Britain's foremost experts on the subject.
