   It seems to be roughly the same on both sids of the pond :- "This is   
   the first stop signal on approach to a station without an outer home   
   signal."   
   [http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-signal2.html]   
      
   It maybe makes more sense in the historic concept of each station   
   having its own signal box rather than having a widespread area with   
   several stations under centralised control and the signals controlling   
   the progress of trains along the whole line instead of station by   
   station.
