How Do Signallers Know Where Trains Are? A Guide to Railway Train Detection Systems

🚆 Ever wondered how signallers keep track of trains on the railway?

🛤️ In this video, we dive into the fascinating world of railway train detection. From bustling city networks to remote tracks, discover how signallers ensure every train’s location is known.

✔️ Learn about fixed block signalling systems and the two main train detection methods: Track Circuits and Axle Counters. Understand the pros and cons of each system, how they prevent collisions, and ensure safe train passage.

💡 Explore the technical details of track circuits, axle counters, and how modern systems like ERTMS work.
