153 posts 		Ive just started on Monday a railway engineering course which is great but means I have to catch the train down to Lydney. Standing on the platform looking along the down main I noticed I couldn't see what I would expect for the NT1421 and NT1309 signals at the end of the DPL, it looked like a set of signs and not really a head. Does anyone happen to know this area and how these signals are?

Maybe modern LED signals don't have visible lamp holders at the back?
