An introduction to Colour Light Signals
Do you know what colour light signals are and what they mean?
In the second video looking at UK signalling we look at colour light signals, from the early examples to modern LEDs.
Do you know what a clearing point is or how different signals affect this?
As the series progresses we will move on to other safety systems, and how we apply these signalling principals in practice.
Please do not trespass onto the railway to conduct research - it is dangerous and a criminal offence to trespass on the railway.
There is a wealth of information available in books, on the internet or have a trip to a museum or heritage railway and speak to the volunteers who may be able to help.
Don’t forget to comment, like, share and subscribe, I look forward to hearing from you TUN.

Glad you enjoyed it. 👍
I spotted a major typing error so have reposted this video with this corrected, I don’t know how this got through the checking process and I apologise for this. In the original @neiloflongbeck5705 posted the following comment “There were a few crashes at termini, Moorgate being probably the most famous, and railway companies since the 1920s have looked for ways to prevent such accidents. From the 1970s IIRC it became standard practice at termini to signal trains into platforms on a single yellow instead of green.” Thank you for your comment.
junctions please. Could you illustrate the use of signals when you have converging and diverging tracks when you have 2 up and two down lines please and the use of smaller signals with red and white horizontal lines. (semaphore)

Thank you for your comment, yes I can do that. I have already started on the video about junction, depot and subsidiary signals. TUN
