Signalling - operational signalling of trains

article by: Garry Owen

A team of volunteers is responsible for manning the signal boxes throughout the length of our line. At the moment there are three such boxes, at Toddington, Winchcombe and Cheltenham. This is a most vital, safety critical job for which full training is given followed by examinations. Depending upon past experience it may be some long months before you become a 'passed signalman'.
