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 &amp; 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.

One of the beauties of the railway network is that, for the most part, it is completely segregated from other transport infrastructure; as such it is largely immune from the traffic congestion that plagues our roads. There is, however, one point of direct interface between the railway and road networks, and that is the level crossing. In recent years, there has been growing concern about the safety issues surrounding level crossings as there have been a number of accidents both on the national network and on preserved lines that have led to tragic fatalities. Written by one of the British Railway Board's former Signalling and Safety Officers, this is an authoritative look at the history of the level crossing and all the safety issues surrounding them in the current day and age. This is the first time this subject has been covered in such great depth and it will appeal to all enthusiasts and be an ideal companion to the author's previous books on railway accidents.

History

Stanley Hall’s pocket guide to modern signaling practice has been one of the staple volumes in the railway list for many years. The third edition was produced in both original and revised editions and both are now out of print. Since the publication of the last edition, there has been one major change to the railway signaling infrastructure in use in Britain. The opening of the CTRL from St. Pancras to the Channel Tunnel has resulted in the adoption of signaling capable of handling trains operating at speeds in excess of 300 kmh. This fully revised fourth edition has more pages to allow for the additional information on the signaling in use on the CTRL and, for the first time, the book includes color photographs, which will make the book much more visually attractive and accessible to users.
