RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted February 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) You are right. All entries one line out. Now fixed I hope, I made a number of random checks and it seems to be right. If there are still problems please let me know.

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted February 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2022 I do add text in the comments column when they are associated with a particular signalbox photo, but recently we have had quite a lot which are not.

Poor Old Bruce Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) Two for the 'Where are these please?' category. I think they are not far away from each other and the sign on the first is headed 'North Eastern Railway'. Edit to add date about 1984 and to add information from Mike Wiltshire that this is Castleford Gates... ... and this is Whitwood Junction Edited March 1, 2022 by Poor Old Bruce 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Nick C Posted February 28, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28, 2022 The first one appears to be adjacent to a bridge number 54 - so if it's still extant, ought to be somewhere on this list: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/list_of_bridges_on_network_rail Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years later, a siding was added and a new locking frame installed.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted March 13, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2022 No photo attached (copyright) but a pal has acquired a print of Birkenhead Park H signal box with a BR green Merseyside EMU passing it. He's curious to know the significance of the "H" suffix, as now am I (the area is well outside my sphere of knowledge). Can anybody help?

It doesn't look like a product of the ex-LSWR concrete works at Exmouth Junction. Did the SECR have an equivalent facility? John These are ubiquitous features on stations on the old SECR - a particularly good example is Newington, between Sittingbourne and Rainham - where all the fencing is precast concrete, as are the platforms and their supports - the down platform is on an embankment at the up end and even in this area, the varying height platform supports are precast concrete. The fence panels are increased in height to accommodate the erstwhile running in sign boards, where the fixing bolt holes are still present. The fences etc are still in good, albeit weathered condition although there are areas where the concrete has spalled around the reinforcement on the posts and repairs can be seen. Newington was rebuilt as part of the Kent Coast electrification when the line was quadrupled from here towards Rainham - so the platforms must date from the late 50s - and are presumably BR Exmouth products. Rainham, Meopham and other locations have similar features. Great for railway modelling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 13, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2022 That pile of concrete troughing at Borough Green is, I think, for the resignalling of No 2 Boat Train Route. At that time I think Borough Green fringed with the new Victoria box at Clapham Junction. Maidstone East box would be the recipient of a modern panel with, ISTR, a mimic diagram driven electronically - then cutting-edge stuff - controlling the route from the fringe with Victoria through to a fringe with Ashford panel, and Borough Green would close.
