A message at Maidenhead: "-ALL PANS DOWN 0015 23-6"

I've done my homework on Rugely PS. It opened in 1970 and possibly 1972 to rail (hence 1972 as a TD) and it closed in 2016 (hence the 2016 as a TD). So that's a nice little piece of history left by the signallers.

And this:

I233 at Servern Tunnel Junction and Pilning

And 207 at Patchway

I suppose many of these are just notes that only the signallers will understand.
