Evenin' all,
Not a signalling question exclusive to the above two stations I'm sure, but that's where I noticed it...:
This afternoon, after watching my beloved Fulham F.C suffer our second consecutive defeat due to linesmen not spotting centre forwards in what can only be described as blatantly offside positions, I sulked my way back to Putney bridge to get the District Line back home. Couldn't help but notice (as I was ignoring the three Man U fans singing loudly in brummie accents?!) that there was a small box between the running rails, just after the northbound starter signal. This box contained two flashing yellow lights. Once I'd cried myself over to Aldgate, as I wiped my eyes dry, I spotted the same sort of box sitting just past the westbound starter at Aldgate East. Can anyone shed some light on these devices for me, and the purpose they serve etc? Just to satisfy my curiosity an all that jazz...
Ta muchly,
~Jim~
