This page is intended to act as a portal to other pages in RailWest which describe in more detail particular aspects of the Signalling of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway (S&DJR). Click here for a full Index of the S&DJR pages available so far. Click here for the general RailWest Main Index.

This site is not intended to provide basic information or explanations about the principles and components of railway signalling in Great Britain  - you should visit The Signal Box for a wide range of background information. The emphasis here is on particular aspects of signalling equipment and operation on the S&DJR, as well as historical details about individual S&DJR signal-boxes. Topics include the signals, block working and the single-line Electric Train Tablet instruments, as well as pages about individual locations such as Glastonbury and Corfe Mullen Junction.

Much of the S&DJR-related material available on this site has been derived from many years of research by the author in his capacity as Signalling Steward for the Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust and as the Corresponding Member on S&DJR signalling for the Signalling Record Society. Grateful acknowledgement is given to all those who have helped him along the way to record at least a small part of this complex subject.
