I posted this over on Railpage and now here for those of you that may not frequent there.

Okay here it is:
Tahmoor Colliery to Aylmerton (Yerrinbool South) Resignalling from December 13th.
Tahmoor Colliery to Aylmerton Resignalling
Tahmoor Colliery (exclu) to Tennessee Diagram
Tennesse to Aylmerton (exclu) diagram
So counting the old Bargo and Yerrinbool Distants, Accepts, Homes and Starters we go from 13 Down signals to 7 and 9 Up signals to 6.
What I do find a little odd though is the signal numbering. The new signals, as with those south of Moss Vale, have the new numbering. That is they are based on the kilometres from Sydney whereas the old numbers were based on miles. So we go from 60/5 at Tahmoor Colliery to the next being new 100/5 through to 119/1 at Yerrinbool before reverting back to 75/7 on the Down. On the Up 77/6 to the next being 119/0 through to 103/4 the next being the Tahmoor Accept (62/2). Old numbering through to Berrima Junction then after Moss Vale new again. I thought they would have done the whole renumbering caper at the same time.

| Headways should improve on the up at Aylmerton with that signal going in between the tunnels near the 70 board. |

| Alas not. It appears that is a distant signal similar to my above remark re Picton Up distant. There also appears to be no medium indications. |
