   • 1960 December, “The Glasgow Suburban Electrification is opened”, in Trains Illustrated, page 713:

     The Stage I electrified area has been resignalled throughout with colour-lights, which in due course will be associated with B.R. standard A.W.S., and 27 signalboxes now do the work of the steam age's 56.

     This arrangement remains firmly in place 21 years later, although it will almost certainly succumb to being fully resignalled within the next 15-20 years as part of the policy adopted by Network Rail in 2011 to centralise signalling and migrate control of the entire network to 12 Rail Operating Centres (ROCs).
