The paper outlines the distinctive braking requirements of rapid transit vehicles, following which the various elements of a complete braking system are examined and recent trends described. The interaction with other developments such as Automatic Train Operation is discussed and examples of modern systems are described. In the case of recent London Transport rolling stock the reasoning behind some major changes is given.
