And all this has spiralled from a single question about which steam loco appears in a TV programme!
Looking into the surviving semaphores in my part of the world, I think these 3 brackets & the handful of shunting signals are the only semaphores on Network Rail in East Sussex, and quite possibly Kent as well. The rest of the Marshlink line between Hastings & Ashford is all coloured light signals, the Hastings-Tonbridge line (including the Western end of Hastings station) switched to coloured light signals when the line was electrified in 1986, and the East Coastway line from Hastings to Brighton via Eastbourne lost it's remaining semaphores in 2014 - the last of these had been around Bexhill, Pevensey & Westham, Willingdon Junction (near Eastbourne), Polegate and Berwick.
Sorry, can't help with the song question though Steve - I know the Beatles original version but I don't think I've heard any of the others.
