Leytonstone to Woodford
About your above points, if you look closely at the 10mph Permanent Speed restriction, above the ten is written "Eng". The 10mph applies to engineers trains traversing the bridge ahead. The black triangle sign signifies to engineering train drivers that they are clear of the bridge and can resume running at a normal speed. There are quite a few of these signs applying to Engineering trains on the Central.
With regards the White light, the next colour light signal after the Snaresbrook starter is the starter at Sth Woodford - a very long section - whereas from Leytonstone there is a colour light signal between Leytonstone & Snaresbrook platform. So it's not so much that the train has 'caught up' with the train in front as such, rather the train is still the same distance ahead as it was but is still occupying part of the long signalling section ahead.
With regards to disused platforms - look at the eastbound platform closely at Snaresbrook and you'll notice there was a bay platform there too. Look at the platform canopy and the concrete lampposts lighting the open section and it becomes clearer as they are double sided. When you're actually on the platform it's really obvious as you can see the old platform edge![/quote]
I did not notice but I have not seen any of the other signs before are they something that has been introduced recently? There seems to some issues with this post.[/quote]
The signs are not particulary old, but have been there for at least three years in the Central Line. There's a fair few - at Snaresbrook, Roding Valley, Sth Woodford, East Acton are just some.
