Welcome to the Signal and Electrical Engineers’ Technical Society (TechSoc)

TechSoc is based in London, UK and its origins are founded in London Underground signalling and electrical systems.

Our purpose is to offer information, lectures and events based around railway signalling and mass transit systems past, present and future. We do this through a programme of talks and visits, and access to our library of technical and historic signalling related papers and publications which are available on-line or for loan to members of the Society.

We are affiliated to The Institution of Railway Signal Engineers.

Please feel free to attend any of our forthcoming talks as non-members are welcome. However, for just £7.50 you can join our society for one year and for £30.00 for life.
