This book tells the story of the development of signalling and train control on the London Underground from its earliest days of steam locomotives and mechanical signalling with the opening of the first line in 1863 to the latest communications-based technology.

It describes how the Underground developed the world’s first automatic railway in the form of the Victoria Line, and it relates how operational and maintenance factors have influenced signalling design. It also shows how efforts to improve safety, reliability and capacity have led to the systems in use on the LU network today.

Well-illustrated throughout with black & white photographs and diagrams. Hardback. 408 pages.
