It looks like a banner repeater signal, to indicate the state of the platform starter. See http://www.railsigns.uk/photos/p_repsig1/p_repsig1.html

" said:Not seen any banner repeaters like that before. I think you'll find it's actually a shunt signal mechanism as used by the Southern Railway and BR(S) in their colour light schemes, floodlit for night use, and with the disc changed for a black-on-white one so it can act as a banner repeater for a signal which is out of sight round the corner. Details of the mechanism here http://www.wbsframe.mste.co.uk/public/Shunt_signals.html on Mark Adlington's excellent 'L' frame website http://www.wbsframe.mste.co.uk/public/index.htm Log in to reply |

Whats also odd is that it will be behind most train cabs. It can only be for releasing locos off the buffer stops – which must never happen these days

When Brighton was resignalled we still had 2haps on the Coastway and loco hauled parcel/paper trains plus the inter regional down to Plymouth. At least one if not all of the BRs are detected as T663 won't clear if they fail to show an off thus trains need to be flagged out of platform 1. Log in to reply |

It would seem that the banner could show off/proceed while the signal is at red for that to happen. Normally the signal has to be off before a banner approaching it can then show off!
