South African signals compared to British

Post by John Ashworth »

The Railway Signs and Signals of Great Britain website has a section on British Signalling Overseas, which states:
As a legacy of British imperialism, it is hardly surprising that the railways in many other parts of the world closely adhere to British practice. The signalling and signage in those countries has evolved differently than in Great Britain however, or has been adapted to suit special requirements. These pages are not comprehensive but rather they are intended to show some of the differences that may be observed when compared to practice in Great Britain.
There is a page for South Africa

Agreed! Great site!
The South Africa page is a tad simplistic, though and could be expanded. When, if ever I get time, perhaps I should volunteer: would be good revision work for the TA course anyway.
