That station is in Greater London - that's your hint for free.

By the way, we still have semaphore signals at my local station.

I drove under semaphore signalling today. All one of them.

And here's a picture of it as I saw it earlier today (but not taken by me):

Those things are still used?

Yes, the line isn't used enough to justify the cost of replacing them.

The Kent Coast Line between Dover Priory and Ramsgate have them. If you go to Deal station, you can see two, one at both ends of the platforms.

Check out this website for more pictures of excellent semaphore signals.

If you go to the Greenford section and look at the 7thy picture down you can see the signal in the previous picture. It's on the right, to the elft of the girder bridge in the distance. The other two semaphores I have to obey on that route (for when going in the opposite direction) are on the left with the white arms with black stripes.

In the first picture on that page all of those signals are now coloured light except for the single one on the right which controls the exit from the east curve (the single-track loop we use to turn HSTs).

The link doesnt work :/
