A small pocket of semaphore signals survive on the Kent coast at Deal. Here a Class 395 departs for Ramsgate. The signal box is a bit of a survivor too.

Still complete with finial, this semaphore has survived long enough to guard the exit to platform 1 at Banbury in the second decade of the 21st century.
Upper quadrant semaphore signals survived in this region until earlier this year (2009). Alas, the signalling was completely renewed a few months ago. The new colour light automatics are in new locations, and unlike the semaphores, "up" and "down" signals are often positioned opposite each other.
Indicating "stop". The staggered marker light indicates that it is an automatic, permissive signal.
