It’s just a note on who is the sidings DP (designated person) when they are on duty as they all have individual contact numbers. Not all signallers will interpose the name.
I reckon it's the shunter for the TL sidings which was already mentioned above lmao

I've also seen [NOPC] on several occasions (currently at Bow Goods for example),
which I take to mean NO Person in Charge?

Slightly off corse, But sometimes the signalers put jokes/references in too.
The last XC HST at temple meads had "fare well HST" written over 3 berths.
Below is a OTT screenshot from flooding west of Bristol a few weeks back, as mentioned by another comment.

Today's buffer stop collision at Wimbledon ( unit 21441/2 before anyone asks ) resulted in "BANG" appearing on the describer; screenshot below:

Presumably as a reminder that track circuits may not work properly due to the rust on the railhead?

Correct, well at least at our Signalling centre.
I wouldn't of thought Platform 3 at Grimsby would rust though. Is is not used by the 2 hourly service to Leicester any more?
You'll find "RUST" on the Metropolitan Reverse out of Cannon Street around to Metropolitan Junction. Used to be used every morning and evening for empty stock moves via Blackfriars. Now only used once or twice a year for Track Recording, or under perturbation via Cannon Street. Even that is rare now as GTR do not like SER trains crossing "their line" between Ewer Street and Met Junction.

I don't think the Metropolitan Reversible can be used when there is service disruption anymore as I'm sure South Eastern drivers no longer sign it.
An Adelante at Grimsby Town, unusual

Probably three of the most common I see are;
'GONE' for lifted track still shown on the panel but not usable.
'1 IN' which indicates a train in this section is either loading or stabled.
'WAGS' for wagons with no loco or headcode.

You would be surprised the number that do.
The new layout still allows trains to traverse between Charing Cross and Cannon Street in both directions. You can get to Cannon Street from Blackfriars, but cannot get from Cannon Street to Blackfriars(no signalled move)

Didn't get change to see it myself, but seen a post elsewhere of perhaps my favourite one yet due to flooding in Chipping Sodbury:

Is it possible that this thread is encouraging signallers to be more creative in their descriptions?
