Title: OTD - 20th February (2016) - last train signalled on the Swindon Panel Post by: grahame on February 19, 2022, 23:49:20 The Swindon panel was one of the original Western Region “turn push” type panels, the staple panel design of the Great Western since the 1960s. It signalled its last train on 20th February 2016 - train signalling moved to Didcot, and so did the panel for preservation by the Swindon panel society!

From my collection of diagrams from the Signalling Record Society, that would appear to be the case with seven manual 'boxes covering the immediate Swindon area, all with semaphores. Must have looked wonderful.
