Description

Traditional Signalling on British Railways by Robert Hendry explores the evolution of signalling on British railways from the era of the Big Four and pre-Grouping companies to the period of nationalisation and privatisation. The book delves into the principles of signalling operation and examines the variety of traditional signalling in use during this time, including mechanical signalling and colour-light signalling. Rare and previously unpublished images accompany the author's insight into traditional signalling on British railways, providing a unique perspective on this often-overlooked aspect of railway history. This book offers a fascinating look at the signalling systems that once dominated the UK rail network. With its wealth of historical images and detailed explanation of signalling principles, Traditional Signalling on British Railways is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British railways.
