Signalling
The line speed of the railway is low enough that it is essentially operated as a heritage railway. The line is single throughout with a passing place at Halfway Station (known previously as Paston Place and Peter Pan's Playground). There are also two passing loops roughly midway between each terminal and Halfway, although the western loop is under repair. Usually two trains operate from end to end, passing at Halfway station. In general, there is only one train on each single track at any one time. The railway does not operate with two trains on one single track section. Drivers are now equipped with radios which allow communication between themselves, stations and control.
There are warning lights at pedestrian crossing points to the beach with a warbling siren to warn of the approach of a train. A following train is required to signal its approach to a pedestrian crossing point by sounding its klaxon horn. One such crossing provides the only external access to Halfway station.
