I see that work has (at last!!) started on fitting the co-actor for A791 above the monitor box.

This is my local tube station and I've always thought that this signal would be really hard to see!

Don't know how long it's been operational, but I noticed the co-acting signal here on the eastbound for the first time today. Has it made it a lot easier?  |

Definitly, it would be ideal if all monitor boxes could had co actors on them. All you need to see in one place.

A few have. Queen's Park, Heathrow T123, Heathrow T5, Putney Bridge, Edgware Road and Wood Lane spring to mind as examples where either the starter and/or Co-Acting signal is within the same field of vision as the Monitor.
The standard for signal sighting does state that the Train Operator should have simultaneous visibility of the OPO and signal (or co-actor), but very few places achieve this (q.v. above). In a lot of cases the OPO was installed without taking into account the viewing of the signal (in most cases the signal was there first), sometimes even blocking out signal or headwall repeater aspects completely.
The only thing that isn't fantastic about this is the number plate 'Co-acting signal A791' in a mixture of upper and lower case, not enamelled, not even the correct title. 'A791 CO-ACTING' is what should have been displayed.
