VR SIGNAL HOMEPAGE

IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE INFORMATION IN THE SIGNAL SECTION ON THIS WEBSITE IS IN NO WAY OFFICIAL. ALTHOUGH EVERY ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION, THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECT RULE COMPLIANCE ALWAYS RESTS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE CARRYING OUT THE RULES ISSUED BY THEIR EMPLOYER.

Signaling and safeworking can be pretty complicated subjects, at least they were for me when I started. It is my hope that with the following pages I will explain most of VR's various systems.

TYPES OF SIGNALS

SAFEWORKING SYSTEMS

  • Electric Staff (ES), including bank engine key

OTHER SUBJECTS

Many thanks to David Langley for assistance in compiling this section.
I am also indebted to Sean Kelly for providing me with many of the older, hard to find diagrams from the Gerald Dee collection who saved so much material from the scrap bin.
