Heads Up!! For anyone wanting last photos of the signal in question, which includes the only distant ever worked by a ROC - note that Saturday 4th February will be the last day of operation for Norton Junction's semaphores NJ9 & NJ10. A poster seen on another signaling forum states that, effective 0900hrs on Sunday 05th February 2017 the following signalling alterations will come info force at Norton Junction: - Distant signal NJ8 will be relocated 400m nearer to Worcester and converted to an LED signal capable of displaying a yellow or green aspect. - Semaphore signals NJ9 & NJ10, along with the semaphore distant (BA7654R) will be recovered and replaced with a new three-aspect LED colour signal with a position 4 junction indicator.  - The new signal will be located 5m nearer to Worcester and its ID will be NJ9 - The signal will be capable of displaying a Red, Yellow or Green aspect. - Junction Indicator Position 4 will apply to the route towards Abbotswood Junction. It will be a pity to see it go. Glad I got some photos while I could as I am not sure if time will permit on Friday and I am elsewhere on Saturday. For anyone wanting photos of NJ9 & NJ10 who fancies a try at getting some but doesn't know where to go for them, the postcode for anyone using a SatNav is WR5 2PS which will take you to Church Lane, Norton. There is a pathway opposite the village war memorial. Follow that and you will pass under the railway line. The go through the gate, turn right and walk a short distance along the edge of the field.
