RMweb Premium Mike_Walker Posted April 4, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Another preserved box: Romsey. Open to the public on selected dates and well worth a visit if you are in the area https://romseysignalbox.org.uk/ Not in its original position but close by and still almost next to the railway. The group have also made this miniature version of Cowley Bridge Junction which is portable. Edited April 10, 2022 by Mike_Walker 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted April 6, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2021 West Kilbride: I hope it wasn't you who stole the steps. Description for the index: "Previous step end"! Machynlleth: now of course the centre for control of the whole line by the dreaded ERTMS, and the reason we get no steam workings any more - and even engineering work requires a complete possession of either Shrewsbury to Mach or Mach to the end of the line either way if anything other than one of the three NR ERTMS fitted class 97s is used.

Poor Old Bruce Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I can do Machynlleth on 9 April 1983. Just to confound Cornelius, there's steps at both ends. Have to go east end and west end Meanwhile, back in G&SWR territory in March 1983 Ardrossan Hbr Stevenston No.1 Stevenston No.2 and Beith North, another one for classic car spotters. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim V Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I was on a visit to Wales to photograph the remaining signal boxes on the Cambrian. We had driven to Aberystwyth, my friend travelled on the VofR, while I caught the train the Dovey Junction. The VofR would always be there, but the boxes days were numbered. It wasn't raining at Aberystwyth, but tipping down at Dovey. I had run out of 35mm film, and only had the Rolleiflex with film. Having taken the photos (only 12 on 6x6 film!), I walked along the footpath to meet my mate in his car. I was soaked! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Old Bruce Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Still more from the G&SWR, all on 17 March 1983. These will be the last from that neck of the woods for a while but there are others somewhere in my collection when I catch up with them.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 10, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 10, 2021 Signalmen, then and no doubt now, were/are not overpaid for the unsocial hours they do. Drivers found a whole new market under privatisation. Signalmen not so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Old Bruce Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 A bit of a seaside(ish) theme for today. Seamer. Well it's not far from Scarborough is it? Showing the old box 0n 25 March 1983 with stairs and windows intact. According to the guff, it was built by the York and North Midland Railway, later part of the North Eastern Railway. Quay Crossing at Bridlington (North Eastern Railway) on the same day and Barmouth South a couple of weeks later on 9 April 1983 while still in its working days. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted April 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 13, 2021 Back on Dovey Junction, alas no longer with a signal box, it really needs an access from the other end as there is a quite significant nature reserve there with a visitor centre (Cors Dyfi) with resident ospreys (there is a webcam), but one would have to leave the station in the direction away from the reserve, so quite a long walk (in the rain).
