Found this which pretty much explains it all. Please note it is in two parts.

Very informative video. Must have been filmed a few years ago judging by some of the rolling stock.

RETB (radio electric token block) is still in use in scotland as the frequency license has not yet expired. it MAY also be in use in anglia, not exactly sure.

It is still in use at Saxmundham controlling most, but not all, of the line from Ipswich to Lowestoft. There is a scheme to replace this with 2 aspect signalling, not sure of the dates.

In Scotland there are two RETB signalling centres - one at Banavie (two workstations) for West Highland Line and one at Inverness (one workstation) for the Far North lines.

There are some pics of the Inverness centre here:

Well done Chris. I really enjoyed the railnet video. I enjoyed the shot inside Princess Risborough North Junction box. Lovely fire burning too. Nice Flat domed bell ringing too.
