Description
This signal applies to moves in the down direction on the Up Main at Swindon Station. It is on the same gantry as SN.38 (now removed), SN.40, and SN.44.

The last WON entry claiming the JIs will be removed was in July 1993:
There being no further WON entries, it is presumed they were finally removed this time.
The routes to the Up Goods and Up Branch (and JIs 4 and 5) were removed in connection with the removal of 355 points [when?].
There were two routes to the Down Main, one via each crossover. The route via crossover 363 was removed in connection with the removal of those points at 05.15 on Monday 3 December 2007, leaving only the route to the Down Main via the second crossover (366).
