Correct if G121 was lit , it would show a red infront of what ever UC98 was showing

Gloucester 121 is an approach lit signal stands at the end of Haresfield loop , because Up Charfield 98 is immediately after it and is only lit when the road is set into or a train is standing in the loop

In the top photo the two lines behind the hump control cabin were used as reception lines avoiding the hump to get to the west end of the yard with a hand signal from the rear of the cabin . The two reception lines for trains out of the tunnel were shorter than the other reception roads and trains had to draw past the hump connection to the next signal , the hump pilot having to draw the train back prior to propelling over the hump , and being the only two roads from the tunnel were always humped as a priority to keep clear . In the second shot the hard standing is the site of the Powell Dyffryn wagon shops

There were alterations after the 1899 rebuild of the station the down and up goods running loops coming later on . The siding alongside the down goods extended under and beyond the bridge and moved away from the Patney and ended at about the middle of the panel box standing about ten grain wagons the Patney side of the bridge , presumably classed as a private for Nitrovit . It always had the appearance of having been a tip siding probably loco ash . Parallel to the dock siding was a siding which split into two , the carriage Sidings , and passed under a stone built bridge of Wilts and Somerset design now filled in but the parapet on the station side is still there , and onto an embankment to the rear of the panel box . The dock must have been put in as a passenger dock ie Horse & Carriage , separate from the goods yard .

This dock was for the traffic department , the carriage sidings were separate and ran under the disused bridge of which the parapet remains on the station side . The engineers Dept had various buildings either side of the road alongside the carriage sidings . The S&T Dept was based in the downside yard at Frome

That dock is where the gwr traincrew Depot is now

Worksop !!
