The ground frame slots Swindon's signals SN.290, from the single line towards the siding, and SN.291 from the siding towards the single line. SN.291 reads all the way to SN.157 at Swindon Loco Yard.
The frame was planned to be brought into use on 30 June 1968, under Stage 7 of the MAS scheme[2], and is extant.

The locking particulars sheets betray the never-installed SN.151, which was to be an up starting signal from the down platform, as Kemble was to be a passing place on the single line Swindon - Kemble - Sapperton. Luckily, the Kemble-Sapperton section was never singled.
