Southern Railway Target Rarity Guide

Most Southern Railway stations had target signs and some kept them even when totems had been introduced as a mixture of both or sometimes just keeping the targets. An example of this was DORKING NORTH which only had targets right up until the time that it received "Modern Image" signs.

Sold in our February 2006 auction for £3750 - a World Record

Over the period of their use targets were produced with a variety of different sizes and layouts. Words such as 'Halt' were put on the green round section under the name.

We have researched as far as possible whether stations had targets or not. There is no evidence so far that some stations did or did not have targets - click here to view list.

On this site we have compiled a rarity guide. Every station thought to have carried a SR Target has been given a grade based on how easy they are to obtain:
