Semaphore signalling on the joint line between Peterborough and Lincoln.

[TravisM]

I was looking at some pictures on Flickr of the joint line between Peterborough and Lincoln that were taken in 2018 and noticed that there was still semaphore signals on the line. I was surprised to see them as I thought it was MAS throughout but I couldn’t find the location where they are. Could anyone enlighten me as I’d love to go take pictures of them.

Only if you go through sleaford

Only if you go through sleaford

Is that just at Sleaford station or the approaches as well?

Its the approaches too but not on the main joint line, they went a few years back

I think, and I really should know, that all the signals in the Sleaford area are now colour lights controlled by either east or west box. Nearest semaphores are at Heckington to the east and, again, I think at Ancaster to the west. You know how it is there all the time and see what you expect, but trying to think of it out of context.........

 

Edit, there's at least one post mounted semaphore shunt signal at Sleaford west.
