Signaling is outdated and won't be able to cope with the expected number of services at peak hours so it needs to be replaced. Replacement would need 1 member of staff, current setup requires 2 signalmen plus a gatekeeper. Trains have been cancelled in recent times on the route due to a shortage of signalmen and gatekeepers
There won't be any cab signaling gear on the resignaled route, there isn't any currently, so no difference
