I asked about a study pack - There is no study pack material - we were advised that the study material is probably all contained within the IRSE Railway Telecommunications book (it looks pretty heavy!)
Also, PJW and Peter said they will look into whether they know any telecomms experts who may be willing to attend a study group to help give us some pointers.
There were 4 or 5 of us who were interested in sitting/studying for mod 4 and 6.
I have been in contact with the person Tom Lee suggested. He sounds quite prepared to get involved given the committment being reasonable.
I have asked him if he could put together a little synopsis of recent deveopments (i.e. those things that would postdate the publication of the Railway Telecommunications book) which he believes candidates should be aware and give sources where details can be studied. He expressed his willingness to make comments upon attempts at Telecomms questions and might even be persuaded to make a guset appearance at a London Study Group if one gets off the ground. So a good lead I hope........
I also hear that there was a Thorrowgood Scholar awarded for 2010 exam and that he was a Telecomms person. Very fitting in Paul Jenkins Presidential year. In due course perhaps he could be prevailed upon as well.
