Where a platform has alternative stopping positions for trains of different lengths, there may be a sign at the start of the platform, prompting drivers to check the formation of their train. The sign contains the image of a car stop marker that has a question mark in place of the number of cars, along with the text "check formation!" [21.175]. |

The stop markers introduced by London North Eastern Railway from November 2018 for their Class 80x 'Azuma' trains have a similar appearance to those installed for Great Western Railway's Class 80x units (see [21.172]), but more information is displayed. The legend "Class 80x" appears at the top of each sign, and a letter "L" or "R" in the appropriate bottom corner indicates on which side of the train the doors must be released [21.179]. A stop marker that applies to all lengths of Class 80x trains bears the word "all" [21.180] instead of the usual letter "S".

On the Crossrail Central Operating Section, which opened in March 2021, reversing signs are installed at locations where trains may turn back.
