Always assuming the tech works. A light bulb is about as simple as you
can get. Imagine if they tried the same on the roads..!


Incandescent light bulbs have a short life and need frequent
replacement. The light is also not consistent, dimming and getting
more yellow over time. LED arrays are far better. But in railway
terms, no lineside signals at all is better still.


I disagree. How is someone working trackside supposed to know whether a
train is signalled or not..?


An app on their phone or iPad tells them. Various platforms have
signalling diagram monitors which provide this info to platform staff,
and no tungsten filaments were electrocuted in the making of this image.

I will resist metrication till my dying day.
