It is most important that the interpretation of say a signalling plan is exactly the same for the design staff as it is for the installation staff. Today this is accepted as a matter of course but it must be remembered that a great deal of work by past Signal Engineers has been needed to bring about the British standards we now work to. The standard most widely known and used is BS 376 Part 1. This British Standard is peculiar to railway signalling. One can see from this that a good knowledge of BS 376 is extremely useful but one must remember that other standards are used in the Department when necessary. One of these other standards is Signalling Principle No. 51 and you should make reference 10 it, as it has symbols within it, which are supplementary to and where applicable supersede some of those shown in BS 376 Part 1. continuedBRITISH RAILWAYS BOARD TRAINING MANUAL Issue or Signal & Telecommunications INTRODUCTION TO Date 09191 Engineering Department RAILWAY SIGNALLING Page 02 INTRODUCTION TO PLAN SYMBOLS.
