I assume that the distant signal that is due to go in will be a fixed distant in common practice with single line signalling, (unless the box concerned will be switching out of course), then a distant capable of being cleared is fitted to show drivers that the whole of the signals further on are at green. There ends my entire knowledge of GWR signalling! Regards, Paul.St Blazey 1925https://www.blogger.com/profile/16697444840076235191noreply@blogger.com
