24|2|2024 - the beginning of the video focuses on the junction signal on the down at Lostwithiel for the branch on the left and the main line to Par straight ahead. LL57 is seen standing proud during the last week of operation of mechanical signalling in this area of Cornwall before moving to Truro to see the Signals here from Blackbridges footbridge.

its a miracle they've last this long, but there time has come and they've served us well

It's sad to see them go but the railway has to progress, we lag far behind other countries now. Hopefully not everything will be scrapped and our heritage railways will use some parts to keep our history alive.

They are in a scrap pile at these locations currently- don’t look like much care on them to be moved to other heritage locations

@@ashthemainman That's a shame. The same happened up here in Yorkshire with most of ours but the East Lancs and North Yorkshire Moors railways got a gantry each that are now in use on their lines. This is the end of two era in a way as the HST will not be around much longer either. I miss those too.
