About Us

Our Purpose

The Signalling Record Society (SRS) was founded in 1969 for the study of Railway Signalling and Operation in the British Isles and Overseas. This remains the prime purpose of the Society.

How We Do This

Our members record the events of today so that knowledge will be available for the researchers of tomorrow. At the same time they record the events of yesterday so that historic information is available now and in the future. We maintain an archive of paper based records which can be accessed by personal visit by both members and the public in general. We also maintain a digital archive of some of these records and some of the digital records can be downloaded from our main web site.
