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.
Thanks.
I was unable to make the exam review :o( again because of the day job theres just too much going on right now.
At least its good to know there will be no study pack, makes it a bit easier than an indeterminate if/but/maybe/maybenot situation.
On the plus side I have found someone I may be able to convince or coerce into giving help pointers. I'm still working on that.

I am afraid that I can confirm this; I did get in touch with one of the Telecoms examiners to ask about my recollection and he replied:
There were indeed two people who offered to write something a couple of years ago, at the request of Colin Porter. A couple of the exam committee aproved their synopsis, but I'm afraid that is as far as it went, and to my knowledge nothing was ever forthcoming.
