Never noticed it before: there is a semaphore adjacent to what appears to be a single-barrier crossing on the south side of Eastleigh Yard at the station end. Is it functional or a training device?

I certainly don't know of any other examples! Of course, there's plenty of yellow shunt discs with the 'standard' meaning as shown in the rulebook. Not seen any acting as a repeater though! Is the following signal (MW10?) a disc too?Brian EWS said:Also got the "Distant" ground signal on the exit from the camp. This could be unique in Britain, anybody know different?
