John writes :- Just found this useful site: www.signallingnotices.org.uk.
Absolute Block with colour-light signalling is fairly common, but Track Circuit Block with mechanical signalling seems counter-intuitive. Is Liskeard the only example in both directions?
Try clicking on the link above - Happy browsing! JR.
Thanks John.
