Description
A Gateway production for Standard Telephones and Cables Ltd.
A video about signalling systems used on British Rail. Covers a brief history of signalling from the early railway policemen to flag signalling, and semaphore signalling to the present modern communications and electronic systems able to handle frequent and large movements of rolling stock on Britain's rail networks. Improved signalling and communications developed by British Rail help to eliminate errors, improve safety and scheduling.
