These beacons are interesting, although they aren't in a really good condition.

Looks to be a pair of incandescent 12 inch 4-way clusters from Durasig. They also appear to be 1st or 2nd Generation Durasigs (more likely the latter though), and the visors on those were very cheaply made and didn't hold up very well.

The Plessy signal behind it was knocked down and replaced with a Siemens Helios head in 2015.
Interesting junction layout.

A few hours ago, I returned from a holiday in Sydney. On the way out, I discovered that the entrances to the M5 tunnel has traffic signals which are always green. I presume that they turn red if there's an emergency inside the tunnel. They also have inverted SORS signs below them.

I've also noticed that some tunnels like that have traffic signals and boom gates. It wouldn't surprise me if that is what they're for.
