I believe there are also plans to take out the bay platform at Mansion
House as part of the SSL resignalling project.

There are new reversing crossovers at the east and west ends of the
platforms. One has to do a 'main line shunt' now and as this causes
delays to the following trains is only used in degraded conditions.

I saw markers on the eastbound track between Stepney Green and
Whitechapel, actually. One marker had C/R written on it, while the
other had D/R.

C stock and D stock reversing points.

Is that why they installed semi-automatic signals in the area, then?

Nope, they were always semis

Of all the previous times that I have been there, it was only recently
that I saw the lights with the illuminated A, both on westbound and
eastbound tracks.

The draw-up signal on the eastbound track is still working, I note.
