The present invention concerns a method for detecting a leakage of a track signal on at least one railway track (3, 5), a track signal being a signal transmitted via the rails (7, 9, 11, 13) of a railway track to detect the presence of a railway vehicle (36) and/or to transmit information to a railway vehicle, the at least one railway track comprising at least two track sections (15, 17, 19, 21) being electrically isolated against each other, wherein at least one receiver is associated to each track section, the method comprising: transmitting a test signal (39) via a first track section (15); activating one or more receivers associated to the plurality of track sections (15, 17, 19, 21), wherein the plurality of receivers are adapted to receive the test signal (39); receiving the test signal via one or more track sections (15, 17, 19, 21); determining the one or more track sections (15, 19), where the test signal has been received; determining whether a leakage (38) between a first track section and at least one second track section exists.
