Abstract

A railway track circuit arrangement includes a plurality of adjacent track circuits (S1, S2, S3), each track circuit providing an indication of the presence or absence of a railway vehicle in an associated track section. There is communication means (6, 7) whereby each track circuit can communicate with the or each adjacent track circuit and the arrangement is such that, if one of the track circuits no longer provides an indication of the presence of a vehicle in the associated track section and an adjacent track circuit does not provide an indication of the presence of a railway vehicle in its associated track section, said one of the track circuits is held in a locked condition representative of the presence of a vehicle in its associated track section.
