    Historical Signalling Question, Morecambe Promenade, 1960s/1970s?

    The main home signal was No:54 with a calling on arm No:55. In 1986 there was a 4 way theatre type route indicator, 1 to platform 1 etc. There was a ground signal No:56 which was to all sidings.

    Piccadilly corridor renewal - February 2026 (infrastructure updates)

    In the good old days you could knock out a demic vehicle and it would stay in a siding for weeks. So the question is how easy is it to split a 390? Could they have split it at Lockerbie and moved it by road from there, or is 3 nights to get back to a depot the better option.
