This signal gantry at Shrewsbury is unusual for having a mixture of modern colour light signals, and one of the older GWR lower-quadrant semaphores. Locomotive 67014 heads the London Marylebone to Wrexham service with driving trailer 82303 nearest the camera. This service only ran from April 2008 to January 2011.
