ABSTRACT:
In a railway signalling system, to achieve inter-vehicle headway spacing for railway vehicles (1) travelling on a track (T), there are a) control of vehicles by fixed block signalling and b) control of vehicles by moving block signalling via communication between vehicles. The moving block signalling occurs within a moving block control zone of the track and the fixed block signalling occurs outside that zone, there being the facility of two-way data transmission between vehicles throughout the moving block control zone and the fixed block signalling system not preventing a further vehicle from entering the mowing block control zone when another vehicle is already in that zone and receiving a transmission via the moving block signalling system.
