Robert Hendry's book explores the variety of traditional signalling used in the BR era, including pre-Grouping infrastructure, mechanical signalling, and BR-built signal boxes. It also explains the principles of signalling operation.

British Railways underwent significant changes in signalling from Nationalisation in 1948 to privatisation in the 1990s, but much of the network's infrastructure dated from the era of the Big Four and pre-Grouping companies. This book explores the variety of traditional signalling used in the BR era, from pre-Grouping infrastructure and mechanical signalling to BR-built signal boxes prior to the conversion to colour-light signalling. The principles of signalling operation are also explained. Author Robert Hendry provides rare and previously unpublished images to present a fascinating insight into traditional signalling on British railways.
