A picture from Stratford-upon-Avon East signalbox on 18 June 1986 taken as a hybrid unit, the set number of which I can't quite read on the hi-res scan, leaves the station with the 08.00 to Birmingham. The shorter signal lever at the end of the frame operated a power-assisted distant arm on the other side of the Alcester Road bridge from the days when the line was open through to Cheltenham. It was rarely used in steam days as virtually all trains stopped for water but after 1963 some diesel-hauled freights would have been given a clear road. It was still possible to operate the lever even in 1986 when all 3 signals for the up line were pulled off.
