NOT QUITE TIMELESS....
The more distant semaphore is a replacement for the taller more traditional design. The new one has a centre pivot. The Turbo is in GWR 'Sludge' green which in certain light can still look attractive. The signal made up of small disks allows trains to head back towards Great Malvern wrong line until a set of points about half a mile away.
This was the first time I visited this spot and it was not easy with a degree of undergrowth. It seems likely that this is not now accessible - please let me know if this is not the case.
2-Car Turbo 165132 arrives at Malvern Wells and will change direction shortly 17-11-21.
The working is the 5T78 1230 Great Malvern to Great Malvern ECS.
