Wickham Green too Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Maybe because the single 'standard' gate didn't block the full width of the tracks, they added the 'auxiliary' gate for use when livestock were being herded across ? ( I see no cattle guards.) 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted July 22, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2021 Wymondham (Leics) Crossing has double gates on both sides of the line and no cattle guards. Wymondham gates are clean, now, I know, cos I cleaned 'em! Copyright Andrew Tatlow and licensed for reuse under this Creative Commons Licence. Wyfordby has only a single gate each side of the line, long enough to meet in the middle, and cattle guards on the up side of the crossing. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre 1988 wouldn't be out with the description of relative recent IMO. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I see no cattle guards.) You can see in the the first colour picture a corresponding gate on the opposite side of the line which would seem to back this theory up.

Poor Old Bruce Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Just a couple of odd ones today. Must get round to some more scanning, there's still plenty to go at. Shrewsbury Severn Bridge Junction, 3 June 1993 and this rather sorry looking relic at Toton, seen on 4 Feb 1994 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F2Andy Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Here is Bamber Bridge signal box. I was passing on a walk this morning, and a train was coming through, heading for Preston. It got a mention on another thread, with a link to Google view, which shows it before all the steelwork was put in place. This was necessary, I believe, to keep it upright. I guess it must still be in use, otherwise it would have been demolished, presumably to look after the level crossing, which is on quite a busy road.

I know the feeling - my scanning's approaching the end of 1989 ! Though there are a number of more recent blocks done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends whether you're only including MAJOR termini ................. otherwise, I believe Addiscombe was. Perhaps I should have said 'Inner London' termini ? ..... calling Broad Street a MAJOR terminus is a bit of an exaggeration.

Some of the bottom courses seem to have gone awry as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
