In Melbourne, Australia there is a north-eastern suburb named Doncaster. The Victorian state government is proposing to build a rail line to terminate there, as there is already a large shopping centre (Westfield Doncaster). The Age newspaper today talks about investing in "new high-speed signalling that would allow trains to run closer together." Solution offered on Doncaster dilemma Quote: Dr Morton said some European cities had high-speed signalling systems that enabled trains to run together at headways of less than two minutes.What kind of signalling is being referred to here? Movable-block signalling? Last edited: 02/07/2013 at 22:54 by maxand Log in to reply |

It could be in-cab signalling and/or some sort of automatic operation. Going back to the UK, the core Thameslink section between St. Pancras and Blackfriars with the aim of 150s headways (IIRC), it would be unachievable without some form of automatic operation. However, lineside signals are still proposed but with possibly shorter sections.
