Several people have expressed an interest in being set some tasks to prepare for this module; whereas there have been some attempts at track calculations recently, there has been little on written questions so far this year.
I have found what I think is a good question to start off with, because it is neither extremely brief nor too wordy and covers a topic sufficiently universal that all should be able to tackle to at least a certain degree.
You are therefore invited to have a go and post your attempts here (or using the answers anonymous facility if you prefer) by 28/06/10
1994 Question 2
Identify the features of
a) power operated points and
b) lineside signals
that affect both safe operation and reliable operation of a railway. Describe the measures that you would take to ensure that they remain safe and reliable in operation.
I suggest you look at this thread and its attachments prior
You may also find that these examples give some ideas re presentational techniques
