The station throat at Littlehampton, seen from near the ends of platforms 1 and 2. The semaphore starting signals are prominently visible, sharing their brackets with shunt signals (with their bottoms cut off in typical Southern style); such signals are often found at track level, but are elevated here, presumably to avoid conflict with the third (conductor) rail. The signal box that controls the signals is visible on the right, next to the terrace of houses. The small, shed like structure to the left of the signal post is a carriage washing facility.
