Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the intricate system that enables trains to run safely on a railway network. The author describes how the development of signalling has evolved from a simple exchange of hand signals between station staff to the sophisticated and highly regulated system we know today. The book discusses how the increase in the speed and quantity of trains necessitated the development of a standard set of rules and apparatus to ensure the safety of passengers and crew. It goes on to explore the complex interplay between signalmen, drivers, and the technology that underpins the modern signalling system. By examining historical methods of signalling and the technological advances that have occurred over time, the author provides a fascinating insight into the challenges and innovations that have shaped this vital aspect of railway operations.
