I know they are few and far between but are there any remaining LMS semaphore signals remaining in 2019, especially within the old Midland Railway boundary?

Not being an expert on signal types I can offer the Leicester to Peterborough line as a good place to look, mostly semaphores, notably with the sole lower quadrant example at Ketton.

A few in the Creswell area on the Robin hood line, Derby-Crewe also has semaphores between Tutbury and Stoke on Trent.

The Hope Valley route and Peterborough to Ely are other possibilities.

Peterborough to Ely are, of course, the Eastern region version of the BR tubular post LMS signals. They differ in details to the pure LMS versions. There are semaphores at Whittlesea and Manea, but these signals have a very short life span left, but are to be directly replaced with 'lightweight' semaphores in life extensioning works....

I would think the Cumbrian Coast line and the Settle Carlisle and the Hope Valley are probably the biggest concentration of LMS signals these days.
