Does anyone have full details of the signalling arrangements between Horsham and Christ's Hospital until closure of the latter box following an arson attack around 2000?
Horsham was resignalled with colour-light signals at the time of the Mid-Sussex line electrification in 1938. Christ's Hospital was a mechanical box - it had once worked a complex layout and the junction with the former line to Guildford, but by 2000 was a simple block post with only two semaphore signals, the up home and down starter. By this time, it was generally switched out.
As far as I know, absolute block was in operation between Horsham and Christ's Hospital, but I seem to remember that there was - or appeared to be - continuous 3-aspect colour-light signalling on both up and down lines between the two boxes. Can anyone tell me what the exact arrangements were?
