Railway braking system having rubber tyre wheels 2, 3 which may be lowered into contact with the rail 4 during emergency braking for enlarging the contact patch and thus increasing grip to improve brake force of a rail vehicle 1 (e.g. locomotive, train carriage, wagon, rolling stock). The rubber tyre wheels 2, 3 are normally stowed retracted and away from contact with the rail during normal operation (fig 2).
