Irlam on the Warrington to Manchester line has a fantastic collection of signals and the station building is a cafe, worth a trip if you're in the area

@CDPL1 @philatrail @LNER Well it is actually, stadler have proved it! Lower the train floor to the existing platform height standard

[Railway Signals @SignalsRailway]

@AlexFowles3 @TarkaRail Ah yes that makes sense, a good feature that!

[Railway Signals @SignalsRailway]

Does anyone know what this means? The letters 'BU' are illuminated. This is Eggesford looking towards Barnstaple on the @tarkarail line

[Railway Signals @SignalsRailway]

This is a bit of an oddity, the signal (fixed Red) only illuminates when the track circuit is occupied.

Coatbridge Sunnyside

@801rail @ScotRail @NetworkRailSCOT That would be a shame, I wonder what extra protections they have put in as a replacement?

[Railway Signals @SignalsRailway]

The rockfall signals on the Oban line appear to be on....

Hopefully all is well

@morrd444 @ScotRail @NetworkRailSCOT That's just the angle from the platform, it would be fine round the corner

About the most complex 'signalling' shot you can get with RETB
(Top down)
Points indicator with theater box
Stop Board
TPWS status indicator
TRTS buttons (one for each direction for each platform)

Crainlarich is the junction of the Fort William and Oban lines

A signal you won't see pulled off much now, this is WT9880 at the up end of the down slow platform at Hemel Hempstead. It has been used recently for Southern services that turn back here. After today these services will no longer run (terminate at WFJ). NR rejected the paths

Some of the yet to be commissioned signals at the Swindon & Cricklade Railway today

Two very different types of signalling systems!

And Tenterden Town

[Railway Signals @SignalsRailway]

Loads of interesting signals on show at @KandESRailway today, this is Northiam

[Railway Signals @SignalsRailway]

Wittersham Road

[Railway Signals @SignalsRailway]

@every_station This is Dullingham, the other is Acle I think

[Railway Signals @SignalsRailway]

Several disused signals in the Folkestone area, looks like they were there to facilitate bidirectional working

[Railway Signals @SignalsRailway]

The former signal box at Shippea Hill

[Railway Signals @SignalsRailway]

Visited Hastings box today at work. I really like the repeaters for the shunt signals 😁

[Railway Signals @SignalsRailway]

Just some of the many signalling exhibits on show at Mangapps, well worth a visit
