Signal Fact 20

The first British 4-aspect colour light signals read, from the top: Green, Yellow, Red, Yellow.

This was later changed to Yellow, Green, Yellow, Red so that snow falling on the hood of the bottom yellow aspect did not build up and obscure the red aspect directly above.

This page should be regarded as “Work in Progress”. The webmaster will welcome additional information for this page.

In the list below the information is set out in tabular form, spread over four columns. The column entries are -

RailRef	The Line Code used in RailRef system.
Line Detail	The principal locations included within the Line Code. They are arranged in 'down' direction order. Locations shown are primarily stations and junctions to allow easy cross check against published atlases. Signal box names appear in italics where these are 'intermediate' to stations or have been shown to facilitate links from other pages on this web site. The inclusion of a station or junction name does not imply that there was always a signal box of that same name!
SBR	The section reference used in the relevant Signal Box Register published by the Society.
ELR	The corresponding Engineer's Line Reference(s). This will be blank for railways that never came within British Railways terms of reference. It will also be blank where British Railways had no surviving responsibility for infrastructure at the time the ELR system came into use.

Ayrshire Redesignation of Lines

From 0001 on Monday 3 October 1983 all lines designated Up lines became Down lines and all lines designated Down lines became Up Lines with the exception of the Byrehill Junction / Dubbs Junction line and Kilmarnock / Barassie lines both of which were unaltered at this time.
The Stranraer / Paisley line became Bridge Street Junction / Stranraer line. The Bridge Street Junction / Gourock line became Paisley / Gourock line the Up and Down lines remaining the same.
[weekly notices 40 and 40D].

Content of the routes are listed below in the Down direction that applied prior to the redesignation.
