Looking towards Rugby and Weeden from the end of the up
platform which shows the replacement LMS upper quadrant signals now in place.
The description 'upper' and 'lower' quadrant refers to the arc of travel that
signal travelled. An upper quadrant signal was raised to approximately 60°
from the horizontal to denote that the driver had right of way whilst a lower
quadrant signal pointed down 60° from the horizontal. The change was
initiated after an accident when snow jammed the mechanism which prevented the
signal returning to the danger or horizontal position.
