Origin
UM.73 was a 3-aspect automatic signal commissioned at Swindon MAS Stage 1 on 14 November 1966[1]. At that stage it was supervised by Highworth Junction SB. It was the first colour light stop signal on the Up Main in the new set of track circuit block sections that had been installed between Highworth Junction and Uffington SBs.
It had its own repeater, UM.73R (which eventually became UM.75 under Swindon MAS Stage 5).

Supervision of UM.73 passed to Swindon Panel under Swindon MAS Stage 5 on 3rd March 1968.

Alterations in connection with Reversible Signalling
From 6 March 1977 the signal was mounted on a right-hand cantilever, in readiness for the future installation of SN.683R.
The reversible signalling was brought into use in 1981 [2]. SN.683R later became SN.681[3].
