I think R as a suffix is still quite common. If I recall correctly a new distant or repeater will get its own number.
Annnnnnnnnd deep breath...... probably a few deviations out there (*RDRR)
*Simpsons joke fyi

Usually a suffix BR I think, although new ones may have their own numbers too.Then to muddy the mix you have banner repeaters which have nothing.
Looks to have a route up to T908 at the southern end of the platform, which in turn will have routes onto either track of the ECML or towards Eaglescliffe. There is no main route over the crossover, hence the lack of route indicator, but it can apparently display yellow or green. Might be used if a train is turned back here, though I don't think that happens often in that platform.I don't know if this would count, Signal T888 on the northbound platform at Darlington Railway Station. this picture is looking South. I don't think I have ever seen a movement facing south on this platform, There are shunting Signals attached so I don't think it would be used for that.
AlthoughI don't know if it meets the OP's prerequisite for being able to display green (i.e is it a multi coloured LED).

Not strictly relevant to this thread but a feature of the late 1970’s Waverley resignalling. Shortly before commissioning it was realised that failure of certain lamps in the Multi Lamp Route Indicators (MLRI) on the ‘home signals’ on the approach from Princess Street Gardens presented a safety risk. Loss of two lamps bottom right showing ‘18’ could result in drivers seeing ‘19’. Platform 18 is a short bay, whereas 19 is a through line, a driver expecting to to use platform 19 but discovering buffer stops ahead might be less than amused.ARS on Edinburgh doesn't set route over Princes Street Gardens for a train stopping at Haymarket, until that train has left Haymarket station. So all stopping trains will never get better than double-yellow on those signals - unless the signaller intervenes to set route "early" over Princes Street Gardens. Non-stop (possibly ECS) trains might get a green there, but there'd have to be nothing needing to use the crossovers at Princes Street Gardens at the same time.
I commuted to Haymarket for a period, many years before ARS was added, and I don't recall ever seeing green on the platform starter either. So not surprisingly it was set up to replicate what the signalers had proved to be the best approach.ARS on Edinburgh doesn't set route over Princes Street Gardens for a train stopping at Haymarket, until that train has left Haymarket station.

Interesting, but not a distant according to the Glossary I quoted and I'm not sure whether it should have a triangle plate (though it could be grandfathered under earlier versions of standards). It could still be approached at red if, for example, the track circuit beyond it failed.
