hey folks, I've thought for a min or two about whether or not this should go here or in the District Line board - rather blushsome being a mod and not quite knowing - but hey, if I get it wrong I do apologise! Anyway. I have a question about the signalling on approach to Upminster, heading east. I've just been watching the Dissie driver's eye DVD. I can't see any signals that say which road the train should be heading on. Maybe I'm blind! Coming along from Up Bridge, there's a signal on the left which - oh gosh, MRFS42 will be laughing at me *so* much for not knowing the technical name ;D - has a Y-shape directions indicator at the top (with two sets of lights pointing in different directions). I can't see it clearly enough to be able to give a number or say which lights - if any - are lit; but I think it's FM33. After that we see the crossover join from the WB track (trailing) then right after that it splits with one road heading off to the left and one to the right (we follow the right-hand one). Soon after that the train crosses over onto the WB line and 'parks' at the platform. I'm intrigued - where are the signals that tell you where you're going to end up?

It sounds like the one with the Y shape indicators are Junction Route Indications (Feathers or Harbour/Arbor lights). That would guve you three routes.
