Here are the signal pictures you requested. Stopped my light engine on the way into Marchwood for that pic. Took a pic of the gantry signals as well at Totton that take you down the branch.
Also did you know there was a ground disc in Eastleigh Yard like this one?
The S&T might have been...
The position light on this signal will only illuminate if you are running round a train on the "Marchwood Main" or the loop. I will always receive a single yellow with one of the junction indicators, depends which road the Romsey stopper is sit on.
The up and down relief are 100mph from Didcot to Tilehurst. Mind you following a stopper on my freights you might as well stick to 40mph.
As for flashing yellows there is a nice one at Oxford North Jct for the signal into the up platform at 25mph! They are not always for fast junctions.
EWS Eastleigh is very much alive and as you said does work on the Voyagers over night. They also do maintenance on FL 57's. as well as MOD wagons and the odd EWS 66! They are storing the French 58's there as they come back. 3 there already. Here is a picture of the fuel point.
Ain't modern technology wonderfull. I always wondered what was round the corner from the exchange sidings.
Only one of our drivers has been further than the exchange sidings when he took 47213 down to the docks for naming.

Here are the last 2 pictures.

Here are some pictures of the Down Road from Redbridge to Totton showing the sequence to get onto the branch and the semephors at Marchwood. Also got the "Distant" ground signal on the exit from the camp. This could be unique in Britain, anybody know different?
I see I can only have 5...
Just sorted out how to add pictures, or at least a link to them. So here are a couple of more of the signals that you have been querying at Totton after I actualy went wrong road from Totton to Redbridge! First time for ages that anything has done this move judging by the rust on the crossover...
Hello All
Just joined this forum as I see you need a bit of help.
You did indeed take my picture the other day at Marchwood with 66123 in the rain. I did not get wet in the signal box though!
Here are some pictures from today's 6V38 that I was let out 2 hours early!
Oh no there...
