Subsidiary signal
This is a miniature arm signal, as it read into the sidings. Originally, the post bore two arms - reading to different parts of the sidings; both were slotted by a ground frame originally working these connections.
The signal bears a white diamond sign, indicating that the driver of a train detained at it need not immediately apply Rule 55 and proceed to the signal box to remind the signalman of his presence. This exemption is given as there is a track circuit which will electrically lock the necessary signals in the signal box.
The brickwork of the bridge behind the signal arm has been painted white to improve the visibility of the signal.
More details and a view of the entire signal will be found in the
