There are a set of high speed points west of Burnley that take you from the
inner Up line to the outer Up line (I don't know their proper road names).
When a route is set through these points, you get a top green (no route
indicator of any description). This is, of course, when I visited Burnley
signal box some 5 years ago. It may have changed since then.
