With the gradual removal of the remaining semaphore signalling across the UK are there any services left that run entirely under semaphore signalling?
Someone will correct me, but IIRC only Barrow to St Bees is 100% - so the one remaining Barrow-Sellafield short working counts.Cumbrian Coast is mostly if not all semaphore
Carlisle 'box extends to Wigton with colour light signals. I haven't been south of Workington for quite sometime but there was the odd colour light signal around Maryport, and on as far as Flimby at the former coal loading point.Cumbrian Coast is mostly if not all semaphore
No; lots of colour light signals. There's a recent thread about this.Dudding Hill line?
And even if it was fully semaphore, the question was about services that run end to end under semaphore, and there’d be no such service, because it would come from or go to somewhere else...No; lots of colour light signals. There's a recent thread about this.
Hope valley route
New mills South junction, earles sidings and I think edale all have some semaphore signalling
Semaphore at Kilkerran and Girvan itself. Ayr's been colour light since 1985.Ayr-Stranraer? I’ve only used it as far south as Girvan and can only remember seeing semaphore.

Dore West Junction is protected by colour light signals.New mills South junction, earles sidings and I think edale all have some semaphore signalling
All the distants from Kilkerran to Stranraer Harbour are colour light except the Down distant at Glenwhilly. And of course Ayr (inclusive) to Kilkerran (exclusive) as noted above.
Much of the Marches route.
How much of the Shrewsbury area is still semaphore?
