Does anyone know the purpose of the apparently approach-controlled

Put my first name before the at to reply.

It's a Draw Up Signal. They are basically speed controlled stop
signals to protect a set of points in advance of the next, in this
case, station starting signalm if the starter's overlap is not
sufficient to protect a collision at the fouling point. If the signal
in advance was at danger then the Draw Up signal (identified by adding
a 0 or 00 to the number on the starter) whould show a red aspect,
until the timing section knew that the train was slow enough. It would
then show a yellow (or in some cases a green aspect).
