SN.263

Back to Control Functions

Description

This ground position light signal is on the Down Main applicable to movements in the up direction) at Swindon East.

The signal protects 332 points.

Re-laying of 332 points

In 2009, 332 points were re-layed 100 yards nearer to Bristol, reducing the standage between SN.263 and SN.28 to 6 SLUs (130 feet). A box instruction was added requiring that when a shunting movement was to travel towards SN.28 to reverse behind SN.263 then SN.28 must be off, to remove the SPAD risk of a drive believing the loco(s) would fit in between the signals (where they previously would have done).
