Description

Thoresby Colliery Junction

A stop signal has a red arm with vertical white stripe towards the left-hand end. It shows a red light when on and a green light when off. Trains must not pass stop signals when on The route from here to High Marnham is now used by test trains that will be trialling new technology and for testing purposes, this will include ballast cleaning, track laying, new welding technology and testing new rail mounted plant equipment.

The white diamond plate on the post is a "Rule 55 exemption" plate. It indicates that there is some sort of train detection equipment on the track the signal applies to, and therefore the train crew do not need to visit the signalbox if they are held at the signal.

The sign on the signalpole indicates the start of the test track with "START OF STAFF SECTION".
