SAFETY ON RAILWAYS.
IMPROVEMENTS AT HOME. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Nov. 18. Included in the programme of railway reconstruction estimated to cost about £30,000,000, tlie Government approval for which was recently announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is a scheme for the installation over an additional 520 miles of the Great Eastern track of the automatic train control system, which is working successfully on 2000 miles of the company s main line routes. This will make for increased safety, as the system provides for an audible warning to the driver in his cab of caution signals. Sixty-eight more engines will also be fitted with the necessary equipment.
