Sixty stations
Five lines
Signal Box
Pull the levers, run the railway
A railway signal box, with an enamel track diagram on the wall and a lever frame on the floor. Every station is a puzzle: a diagram, a row of levers and a timetable. Set the points, clear the signals, and bring every train to its platform without two of them meeting. The trains run on a clock you can start, stop and step one minute at a time.

How to play
- 1Tap a lever to pull it, and tap it again to put it back. Red levers work signals, black levers work points, blue levers set which way a single line runs.
- 2Start the clock and watch the trains run. Stop it whenever you like, or step it on one minute at a time.
- 3Bring every train in. Fewer lever pulls earn more stars: three stars at par.
What's in it
- Sixty stations across five lines, every one checked solvable, each with a par worked out by a solver
- The Branch: points and signals, with nothing to stop a collision but you
- The Frame: an interlocked lever frame that locks the dangerous moves and asks for more pulls in return
- The Single Line: direction levers, passing loops and trains that must cross on time
- The Yard: slow goods trains, sidings, headshunts and trains that reverse
- The Timetable: the boxes you know, at rush hour
