Could this article please explain how TPWS works? It is linked to from Signal Passed At Danger, which (until I edited it), gave TPWS as the sole automatic method of stopping trains that pass danger signals. In Australia, we have what are known as " train trips" which do the same thing, and I very much doubt that these are the same as TPWS, but without an explanation of how TWPS works, I cannot be certain.

considering the Northern Irish train network is entirely set up to Republic of Ireland standards, I believed that it used the same mix of CAWS and ATP that Irish Rail use, and not any other systems? All their trains are set up for CAWS/ATP, because many of them spend more time on Irish Rail track that on Translink track. -- Kiand 18:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Northern Ireland Railways are signalled in accordance with British, not Irish, signalling principles. Their railways have AWS and TPWS, but no CAWS.

- So how do NIRailways trains operate on the Irish network, and more importantly vice-versa? Irish Rail equipment does not have TPWS or AWS fitted, thats a definite. -- 62.77.181.1 14:31, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Some NIR trains are fitted with CAWS, and some IÉ trains are fitted with TPWS & AWS. Signalhead 21:34, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
