D Watson (Letters, 27 August) is concerned about semaphore railway signals in the north of England; we also have them on some lines in East Sussex. They are perfectly safe and suffer no more failures than colour light signals. They are quite adequate for the local lines where they are used and their existence is no reason to pooh-pooh upgrading projects on the main lines.
The signalman's use of a flag that D Watson observed is standard practice if there is a failure of any type of signalling equipment, semaphore or colour light and, rather boringly, the flag is held steady rather than "waved" as they do in old railway films.
Your well-meaning correspondent has shown that a little knowledge of railway affairs can put us on the wrong track.

As one of the members of the Christ's College University Challenge team, I feel obliged to defend our ignorance of long-forgotten popular music from David Lister (Arts, 28 August) and Jim Martyn (letter, 31 August). The sheer arrogance of the baby-boomer generation, in assuming that their transient cultural products are somehow timeless, is astounding. Who will remember Bryan Ferry in 50 years?

* Children on the Edge was founded by Anita Roddick 20 years ago to help children institutionalised in Romanian orphanages. It specialises in traumatised children. It still works in eastern Europe, supporting children with disabilities and girls at risk of sex trafficking. But it now works with children in extreme situations in a dozen countries - children orphaned by AIDS in South Africa, post-tsunami trauma in Indonesia, long-term post-conflict disturbance in East Timor, and with Burmese refugee children in Bangladesh and Thailand. website

The correspondence about the dangers of bulls to walkers (letters, 28 August) tends to suggest that if I see a bull in a field I should avoid crossing that field. My walking group recently quietly crossed a field containing a bull and cows without a flicker of interest from the animals.
Section 59 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which imposes a general prohibition on keeping bulls on land crossed by public rights of way, makes an exception where the bull is not of certain specified breeds and is in a field with cows or heifers.
