Is there any documentation that shows signal locations and signal numbers for a given route?

Not that I've been able to find. If you're looking for a SimSig-covered area, the Wiki has signal number plans for all the simulations, but nothing that shows (for example) a grid reference for the signal.

If you're looking for another area, there are a quite a few signal box interior photos knocking about on the internet, so you might be able to find signal numbers and the relative position of signals, but again I don't think there is anything that would tell you the actual location of a signal.

Of course there is, otherwise how do they firstly build the route, then secondly train drivers and guards and signallers.

I thought that information would be in the sectional appendix, but the one I have just shows, mileposts, station and crossing locations and line speeds.

The SAs do not show you signal numbers, nor are they designed to.
