Alterations in connection with Reversible Signalling
From 19 June 1977 the signal was mounted on a right-hand cantilever, in readiness for the future installation of SN.693RR on the same structure.
Conversion to four-aspect
When SN.93 was brought into use over the weekend of 22-24 October 1977, further in connection with the installation of reversible signalling, UM.68 was converted to a four-aspect, as there was the insufficient braking distance between SN.89 and SN.93.
The reversible signalling was brought into use in 1981 [2].
