About this product

Product Information

For over 150 years Britain's railways have relied on a system of semaphore signalling, but by 2020, all semaphore signals and lineside signal boxes will be gone. A Contemporary Perspective on GWR Signalling provides a unique record of the last operational mechanical signalling and infrastructure on Britain's railway network, as it applied to the former Great Western Railway (and lines owned jointly with other companies). It also includes a comprehensive explanation of what mechanical signalling is and how it works. Beautifully illustrated with over 400 contemporary images and with detailed information from a 2003-2014 survey, this is an essential resource for anyone with an interest in the traditional signalling systems of railways in Britain. The book covers: . Lineside signalling equipment - semaphore signals, brackets and gantries, and other variations . Ways of working, from Absolute Block to Track Circuit Block (TCB) . Detailed coverage of the signal boxes and infrastructure on Network Rail, including routes through Shrewsbury, Hereford, Worcester, Cornwall, Chester and North Warwickshire . Diagrams of the major routes AUTHOR: Allen Jackson first entered a signal box at the age of six and that fascination has lasted until the present day. He joined the RAF as an apprentice and worked for some years on Cold War aircraft. He later qualified as a teacher and taught Maths, Physics and Mechanical Engineering Science at an apprentice training school. Later, in industry, he taught bespoke computer systems all over the world. In 2004 he established his own business, supporting UK fire and rescue services' 999 computer systems. 430 colour images, 17 maps and diagrams

    'Absolute' Must Have

    On the whole, this book is very interesting however, due to the ever marching on of Railway progress, it is a pity there are no Devon photos or little mention in the text that I have found... The Cornish mechanical signalling is well presented for me, 'box interiors are always welcome, as are any of Instruments...

    Signal box catalogue

    What this book has which makes it interesting, is that it gives a taster of S and T principles.

    gwr signalling explained easier to understand for a newby.

    a photographic history as well as a written history far easier to relate to than just text.
