A three-aspect Tyne and Wear Metro signal. This one is for South Shields and Sunderland/South Hylton-bound trains at Pelaw station. It also allows access to the sidings at the eastern end of the station. Before the extension to Sunderland in 2002 Pelaw was the southern terminus of the Yellow line, so the sidings would have been in much more frequent use than they are today, although Pelaw is still used as a reversing point for some services.
