Was Swindon semaphore signals all along the line prior to the 1960s?
From my collection of diagrams from the Signalling Record Society, that would appear to be the case with seven manual 'boxes covering the immediate Swindon area, all with semaphores. Must have looked wonderful.

The Swindon panel was one of the original Western Region “turn push” type panels, the staple panel design of the Great Western since the 1960s. It signalled its last train on 20th February 2016 - train signalling moved to Didcot, and so did the panel for preservation by the Swindon panel society!
