To do

Add mechanical signalling. Add single line working. Add pictures. John 09:25, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- but please bear in mind that the term "single line working" refers specifically to the temporary working of all trains over one line of a double track railway, e.g. during failure. It does not refer to the normal working of a single track railway.

Ireland

Is railway signalling in Ireland the same as in the UK? Biscuittin (talk) 09:34, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Irish signalling is based on British practice, but has evolved slightly differently since the partition. For example, semaphore distant signals still have red arms, mechanical shunting signals are mostly square instead of disc shaped, and the position light shunting signals are different. Colour light signals use the British four-aspect system (but there are no flashing yellows) and the same kinds of route indicators are used. Irish railways have CAWS rather than AWS/TPWS. Banner repeater signals are a fairly recent addition in Ireland. –Signalhead ^< T > 17:41, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Identical topics. Merge done. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:33, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that British railway signals be merged into UK railway signalling. I think that the content in the British railway signals article can easily be explained in the context of UK railway signalling, and the British railway signals article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of UK railway signalling will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.Alanl (talk) 15:29, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Speedbird737 (talk) 18:38, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Although the bot worked correctly, I've replaced the archived links it provided with contemporary ones. This is because all the signalling information that was previously dotted around different rulebook modules has been condensed into the "Signals, handsignals,indicators and signs handbook" and this is the go-to place now.
