Yes it did, with the auxiliary token instruments for this section being located on the platforms at Worcester Shrub Hill.
So (to my mind hair-raising) derogations there from the usual rules about tokens not to be carried past the end of the section to which they apply, and only being handled by the signalman or the driver. At the time it was introduced, I remember thinking to myself "Did they learn nothing from Abermule?" Still, my concerns were misplaced, as this "temporary" lash-up lasted for near enough 40 years without any serious incident
Not the only derogation - the Bradford Junction to Thingley Junction token was carried through to Chippenham Station from (? dates unsure around 1967) until (? date unsure - when did it go tokenless) and there being no signalman at Chippenham Station, handled by station staff? Also meant that all trains had to stop at Chippenham, and that a train could not we waiting at Thingley for a service coming off the single line - had to wait back at Chippenham station. Confirmation of this would be welcome, as would filling in of the dates.
