It can normally be found at the [[Bridgnorth MPDETT|Electric Train Token]] where it is used for storageRegulations. This system ensures that only one train can enter each section of track at any given time. The present day SVR uses a later type of instrument called a 'key token' instrument, so named because each token resembles a large key.
