Berkswell Station's up home signals, the one on the left for
Tile Hill and the one on the right for Kenilworth Junction seen on 2nd October
1961. The repeater arms at the base of both lattice posts were required because
the height of the top arms would, in certain circumstances, not be very
visible. Normal height signals were not an option due to the poor visibility
caused by the curved track and bridges over the line when approaching the
station. Its interesting to note that when the LNWR signals with timber posts
were replaced (see 'lnwrberk525a') the starting
signal for Hampton (see image 'lnwrberk3014')
had its co-acting (or repeating arm) removed whilst the up home signals seen
above which did not have any, had them added.
