Just a quickie one!
Can anyone suggest why the home signal 33 that admitted trains to the original three Heysham Harbour Station Platforms was a colour–light when all the rest of the station layout was Semaphore?
The 1970 layout diagram here:–
. . .The Distant signal for the Home No. 33 also had a note appended to it – "operates for platform 3 only" (the distant doesn't have a number shown) – were there any other colour–light distant signals approaching termini that operated like this?
Would I be correct in saying that the Heysham Harbour distant could have been cleared to green only for Platform 3 if the Home Signal 33 was set for that route, and always displayed yellow for Platforms 1 and 2?
What signalling was used after B.R. resited Heysham Harbour and replaced the signal box in 1970?
