For many years the line between Belfast Queen’s Quay and Bangor was controlled by banner signals – this one was at the end of the up platform at Helen’s Bay station. Note: they were not repeater signals of the type often found on curved platforms where the starting signal is hidden from the driver’s view. The “A” indicates that the signal was automatic.
