This Network Rail video shows a very interesting new type of signal at about 5 - 10 seconds.

...red/yellow/green from the top down? 3 aspect? what are the chances that's just made by someone who isn't entirely aware of the differences between traffic lights and railway signals?

And the fact that before the green, the red and yellow were displayed at the same time.

More than likely as it is a promotional film it is assuming that the average railway punter won't know the difference!

Yes then we can debate over up and down
"Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer

Well there are two ways to run the railway, the GWR way and the wrong way.

I guess that on a special signal like this we should be talking about amber not yellow! Given that to anyone standing on a platform it's obvious that the signals don't work like traffic signals, (even if you are not knowledgeable), it's amazing that this is displayed thus.

I think it is more a symbollic idea of the reading improvements getting "the green light" to happen,...
