	"Defenestration" and "Copasetic" are surely both like the most amazingly awesome words, ever! The administrator has disabled public write access.

There is a serious point on all this. Firstly, NR have not mentioned what will become of southwest England as Bristol will be abolished. On another forum it was recently posted that the entire southwest may either be worked from Basingstoke (which takes control of much of Salisbury - Exeter in 2012 and all of Poole - Weymouth inclusive in 2013) or, worse, the SW may get worked from the TVC at Didcot. However I have heard from the same forum that the idea was put about of having a SW signalling centre at Exeter. As I have it the timetable for the encroachment of regional signalling in Wessex, Thames Valley and Great Western is:

Wessex
2012 - Exeter to Salisbury
2013 - Aldershot to Farnham, Poole to Dorchester
2014 - Yeovil Pen Mill
2016 - Eastleigh (Panel 1), Farncombe, Guildford, Salisbury
2017 - Basingstoke, Eastleigh (Panel 2 & 3), Woking, Feltham (Panel 3 & 4)
2018 - Wimbledon (Panel 4 & 5), Feltham (Panel 1 & 2)
2019 to 2024 - Brockenhurst, Clapham Yard, Wimbledon (Panel 1, 2 & 3)
2024 onwards - Bournemouth, Haslemere, Petersfield, Havant, Marchwood, Wokingham, School Road

Thames Valley
2011 - Slough IECC
2012 - Swindon 'B'
2013 - Slough Panel, Colthrop, Kintbury
2014 - Swindon 'A'
2016 - Oxford
2018 - Greenford
2024 onwards - Westbury

Great Western
2012 - Ley
2015 - Bristol PSB
2019 to 2024 - Gloucester, Liskeard to Penzance and branches, Plymouth PSB
2024 onwards - Cotswolds, Exeter, Crediton, Paignton, Exmouth Jcn, St Andrews Jcn, Worcester area, Malvern lines

I am afraid that I fear the worst for the future smooth running of our railways. Network Rail may have to learn the hard way of forgetting that classic saying which is not to put all your eggs in one basket. When it comes to railway signalling I would rather my eggs were in several baskets instead of in a bank vault. I, meanwhile, am taking photos where possible with the aim of making a signalling archive website.
