A ground frame at Bristol Temple Meads station that controls the points that switch between the two through roads between platforms 3/4 and 5/6. The red and black levers have been left in the reverse position, allowing access from the secondary road where two Class 150 DMUs were stabled.

Despite the signal showing a green aspect this eastbound First Great Western HST stopped at signal UM154 B between Newport and Severn Tunnel Junction and the driver got out to use the signal phost telephone. There is considerable foreshortening in this photograph - it was taken from the rear of the second last carriage of the eight-coach HST - the signal is further away than the lead powercar.

Signal SN30, located adjacent to Royal Oak London Underground station, on the approach to London Paddington. Like the other signals on this gantry it is capable of display only danger (red) and caution (yellow) aspects, the latter in conjunction with a route indicator. The route indicator displayed here, 2, indicates that the next train to pass this signal will be terminating at platfrom 2 at Paddington station. The large "3" above the signal indicates this is the signal for line 3. I beleive these signs are a legacy of the Ladbroke Grove rail crash where the identification and sighting of signal SN109 was a key factor.

Signal SN26, located adjacent to Royal Oak London Underground station, on the approach to London Paddington. Like the other signals on this gantry it is capable of display only danger (red) and caution (yellow) aspects, the latter in conjunction with a route indicator. The route indicator displayed here, 14, indicates that the next train to pass this signal will be terminating at platfrom 14 at Paddington station. The large "6" above the signal indicates this is the signal for line 6. I beleive these signs are a legacy of the Ladbroke Grove rail crash where the identification and sighting of signal SN109 was a key factor.

"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.

The viewed from the rear of Coach B on a GNER Intercity 125 on a service along the Tyne Valley Line between Newcastle and Carlisle. This photograph shows something I never expected to see - a HST being singalled by flags! I am not sure whether the sempahore signaling the area had failed or what, but the signal gives us the right of way over a level crossing adjacent to Wilton signal box, from where the flag is displayed.
