Hello all!
As some of you may know (I do go on about it), I have an interest in my local line (the Cotswold Line). I'm interested in the signalling aspect of the route, and I have been looking around online to see what there is (I've only been looking casually, none of this hardcore "must find everything" attitude).
On my searches, I found this thread about the Gradients and Signals of the Cotswold Line. Sadly, there isn't an awful lot to go on in the signals department, due to the fact that the link provided in post #2 no longer works. Below is the post.
Tomnick said:
Not a cab view, but Danny Scroggins' website has a comprehensive collection of photographs under the 'Cotswold Line' section, including photos of each of the 'box diagrams.
The link in that post no longer takes you to a site with a Cotswold Line section. It sounds really interesting, but the website is now purely about Broadway Signal Box (still interesting, don't get me wrong) and not the Cotswold Line.
Essentially - what I'm asking here is if anyone knows where the photos from that website have moved to/how to find them (I've used the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to try and find them but to no avail)?

I did find a while ago some signalling diagrams for the Cotswold Line from when the line was redoubled on Google Images. A search for "Cotswold Line Signalling Diagrams" or "Cotswold Line Enhancements" will find them for you, but they are from another forum (I can't remember which one) and when you click on them to find the website they come from, it looks like they have been taken down.

Thanks very much,

-Peter

No problem!

I think the diagrams you were referring to are on the firstgreatwestern.info site at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=3602.1200
Thanks very much - again, just what I was looking for! I was looking on that site and they just didn't appear. I've actually printed the ones I could find out because I prefer having things in a physical form to reference so I'll be finishing that little collection with the final couple of pages you've found there. There's a route for Train Simulator coming out which is based on the Cotswold Line in the next year or so and I'm interested to see how good these diagrams will be for route learning that as well as just being interesting to look at.

Relies entirely on trainsim having accurate placement and types of signals. Alas even on the expensive payware routes I rarely find that to be the case.
