Summary

An overview of railway control systems, subsystems and technologies used on UK mainline and metro railways.

The range of railway signalling and control systems to be found on Britain’s main line and metro rail networks is diverse.

Increasingly, today’s engineers are expected to have broad knowledge of these systems across this entire range. 

This course offers you a range of detailed technical insight in a positive learning environment with like-minded individuals.

Who should attend?

This five-day programme is designed for all engineers working within, or soon to move into a railway signalling position.

How will I benefit?

    After attending this course you will be able to:
  • Demonstrate an understanding of how subsystems contribute to system function in a manner which is safe and meets customer needs
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the detailed characteristics of the various subsystems
  • Specify requirements for signalling systems and subsystems
  • Identify potential failure modes of subsystems and components, and common mitigations for these.
Contributes 35 CPD hours

The course met and exceeded my expectations.
