  1. Thanks, yes I did mean Junction indicators, the choice of routes at Salford Crescent have not changed but the signals have where previously there were feathers for routes, now we have Theatre Boxes, still 3 possible routes. It is possible that a 4th route could be added at Crescent, to create Bi Directional running into Salford Central, but that would require new pointwork in an already cramped junction layout.

    Unless the next signals are to receive boards with the Letters given at the previous signal as in the west end of Manchester Victoria.

    ie, the lines are named Up Salford Fast, Down Salford Fast, Up Salford Slow and Down Salford Slow If approaching Victoria but leaving Victoria they are E, D, C and B.

  2. It was asked during construction of a layout at the club about the rules regarding the above,

    but the question has come to my mind again because of developments at Salford Crescent.

    What are the rules about the above, but as recently Salford Crescent was resignalled for Bi directional running towards Ordsall Lane Jn with Route indicators.

    however over the last week the same signals have been replaced with Theatre Boxes?

    So is it just a whim?

    At the time I assumed line speed was a reason, Higher speed Route indicator, low speed Theatre box,

    Thanks Phil

  3. Yes the daytime headlights only apeared during the last northern franchise. I started on the railway in 2003 and it was a few years befor they were modified.
