Local operator TransPennine has decided to celebrated the route upgrade with a suitable image on their temporary timetable (with a bowler tip to The Sleeper):
Marvelous, all that NR investment and still the TOC uses 19th Century imagery.
What a compelling argument for vertical integration!
UPDATE: This from Inspector Blakey...
Top marks to TPEx for impressive attention to detail.
The glass in the unlit signal arm, lower down the post, is correctly shown as blue in colour whereas the illuminated aspect is green.
I wonder if there's a signal gricer working in their publicity department...
UPDATE: This from Pendolino Warrior...
And just what are these semaphores supposed to mean?
Mixed messages there.
Two home signals vertically aligned should be showing the same indication.
Nice graphics, more research needed.
UPDATE: This from The Major...
Perhaps Pendolino Warrior had best stick to his plastic trains on the West Coast for there is nothing wrong with two stop signals vertically aligned.
It is an example of a stacked splitting signal, that is, the top arm reads to the left road and the lower arm to the road on the right.
There is a fine example of such a signal on the gantry at Falsgrave, Scarborough.
Or at least there was until earlier this month!
