When the next west country resignalling is done that will mean the end of semaphores there which is a major characteristic of the area the only other area that really has a lot of this obsolete infrastructure is east anglia and lincolnshire where etms would eventually be ideal in the more rural areas like the skegness line as more trains could run than now.
It will be a shame to see old gated crossings boxes and semaphores go completely but they are too outdated for a 21st century railway.
