Liskeard and St Erth have them in Cornwall.

As mentioned, there's a fair few on the Marches route between Abergavenny(?) and Shrewsbury.

Absolute Block all the way from Little Mill (just north of Pontypool) to Shrewsbury, with semaphores at most boxes. Abergavenny and Craven Arms are the only stations where you'll see them from the platform though.

If you stand on Abergavenny footbridge when the train departs to the south, you'll hear and see the signal change just a couple of metres in front of you :D

And very satisfying it is too :D that signal is a nightmare to see from the platform when you're trying to dispatch though, and the one at the end of the very long and curved northbound platform is almost as bad....
