See the imminent edition of "IRSE News" for a booking form for this YM event based at the Network Rail Signaller Training Centre Watford and kindly sponsored by TRE. To be sure of a place, respond as soon as you receive it (and if for any reason the flyer is absent from your copy, get in touch via this website).
Simulators will be used to assist in giving an overview of the implementation of Signalling Principles by an interlocking and thus the session should be valuable to many wishing to enhance their domain knowledge by gaining greater familiarity with the actual operation of a signalling system. Hence the event should be useful for newcomers to the industry and in particular those studying for the various IRSE exam signalling modules, not just Module 3.
Attendees will gain most from the event if they perform the recommended prior preparation. It is worth noting that nearly 4 months have elapsed since the Review of the 2007 Exam, and in another 4 months the 2008 examination will be uncomfortably close unless you are by then well prepared. Hence if your New Year's Resolution to study for the exams has yet to be seriously acted upon, treat this as a timely reminder to get down to it- tempus fugit!
Note that there is also to be a separate Study Weeekend in August more particularly targeted at specific preparation for the Module 2 and Module 3 examination papers; your studying should match this approach- first build up your knowledge generally and then in the last couple of months target the task which you must perform under examination conditions.
Don't forget that you can use this Forum to let us know if you have any particular suggestions for topics to include within these sessions. No promises but if you don't ask there is no chance that your wishes will be considered....
