Study Notes
Departure Signals Control Entry
- Departure signals control entry into Block Sections where movements are controlled.
- The purpose of Departure Signals is to ensure safe train movements by preventing collisions.
- Departure Signals control movements by indicating whether a train can proceed into the next block section or not.
- Departure Signals are usually signalled in the direction of travel.
- An Absolute signal indicates that a train can safely proceed into the next Block Section.
- Signals at an interlocked station are directly controlled by the Signaller.
