Signal B244 at the south end of Filton Abbey Wood station, protecting trains on the line towards Bristol Temple Meads

Signal B259 at the north end of platform 1 at Filton Abbey Wood station. This is exclusively a wrong-line signal as trains normally pass southbound on this line and as such arrive at the back of this signal. The two junction indicators show there there are three possible routes north of this signal, with no inidcator the route is set to continue on the wrong-road northbound. With the 45° indicator set, the train will head towards Bristol Parkway but on the correct line; the 90° indicator shows that the route is set for the train to continue over the northbound line to Bristol Parkway onto the line towards South Wales.

The signals on the Great Western Main Line west of Paddington for westbound trains. The large numbers above the signals identify the national rail lines (the rightmost track is the London Underground Hammersmith & City Line) and I believe are a legacy of the Ladbroke Grove rail crash. This photograph was taken from the platform at Royal Oak London Underground station.

The signals on the Great Western Main Line west of Paddington for eastbound trains. The large numbers above the signals identify the national rail lines (the leftmost track is the London Underground Hammersmith & City Line) and I believe are a legacy of the Ladbroke Grove rail crash. These signals being so close to the line terminus at Paddington can display only "danger" (red) or "caution" (yellow) aspects. Caution aspects are always accompanied by a route indicator of the platform number at Paddington into which the train will arrive. This photograph was taken from the platform of the adjacent Royal Oak London Underground station.

Signal G35 for one of the through tracks at Gloucester station has three route option feathers. In the background on the left are rather sad looking locomotives 31206 in Dutch livery and 47365 in Railfreight Distribution livery in Horton Road sidings.

Signals NS167 and NS165 at the eastern end of Birmingham New Street railway station, the latter is displaying a "D" indication in addition to the green aspect. The NS designation indicates that these signals are controlled from the New Street signal box, located a short distance past the opposite end of this station.

Signal B3 at the northern end of the northbound platform at Bridgwater station in Somerset. It comprises a standard three-aspect signal head for mainline services, but also has a two-aspect position light signal that controls the shunting movements into the adjacent Eastover Sidings (aka Bridgwater railhead).

Signals PT132 and PT32 at the western end of Port Talbot Parkway station in South Wales. PT32 controls the track that serves platform 1 at the station, while PT132 relates to the south-side loop; both tracks are used by westbound trains. This photograph was taken from the rear of the first carraige on a westbound First Great Western HST en-route from London Paddington to Swansea stopped at the station.

Signals PT179, PT279, PT379 and PT479 at the northern end of platforms 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively of Swansea (Abertawe) station in South Wales. The PT prefix presumably refers to Port Talbot.

The northern end of Stapleton Road railway station in the Easton area of Bristol. Signal B235 in the foreground controls Narroways Junction ahead, where the Severn Beach Line diverges from the main Bristol Temple Meads to Bristol Parkway/South Wales line. The bridges ahead (in use on the left and disused on the right) take/took two tracks each over the A432 Stapleton Road that runs nearly parallel to the M32 at this point.

"R" boards beneath signals E120 and E20 at the southern end of platform 2 of Taunton station. I don't know the meaning of the signs, but presume they are related to the currently ongoing resignaling scheme at Norton Fitzwarren junction, where the West Somerset Railway branches off the mainline, a couple of miles down the line. Once the resignalling is completed there will be no restriction on access between the mainline and WSR metals, opening the way for the long-discussed through services and a greater number of charters.

Empty Wessex Trains Class 153 DMU 153377 is detained at a red singal at the southern end of the central track at Bristol Temple Meads, while signal B40 dislpays a green aspect and a route indication of DM (Down Main presumably) at the exit of platforms 5 and 6.

Looking west from the western end of platform 2 at Bristol Parkway station. Note that signal B112 in the centre of the photograph has two routes diverging to the left, indicated by the two rows of junction route indicator lights at 90° and 45° above the signal.

Looking west from the western end of platform 2 at Bristol Parkway station. Note that signal B112 in the centre of the photograph has two routes diverging to the left, in this photograph the signal is at double amber and the 90° route indicator is set - the next train will procede towards Bristol Temple Meads. The 45° indicator will presumably only be seen by trains heading towards Avonmouth, while the straight ahead route is that towards the Severn Tunnel and South Wales.fa

Signal W168 at the north end of Wimbledon station in south London can be set to allow passage onto a straight ahead route (a green light with no other indication, as in the photograph) or one of two diverging routes, in which case a row of 5 white lights at on top of the signal arranged in a line at an angle of either 45° or -45° from vertical. The V-shape of these diverge indicators resulted in the nickname "rabbit ears" for this type of signal.
