York Yard South 1962 box signalling diagram

[HGR]

Would anyone out there happen to have a copy or a sketch of the point end and signal identifications for York Yard South (YYS) box please ?

Alternatively, route learning materials through the yards from the '70s / early '80s ?

 

What I am looking for is the initial colour light / power operation implementation when the box was opened in 1962 to replace the mechanical box on the opposite side of the lines.

 

I have the NREA Signalling Centres York book (well worth a look at) and this has a diagram of the 1984 new (rationalised) layout and that of the mechanical box, but not what it was in-between. Not found anything otherwise through NREA and the Signalling Record Society so far.

Hi @HGR. Is this any good? Not certain of the date but I think it is from the mid-late 70s.

These may also help. Relevant pages from "A Guide to Road Learning, York, Chaloners Whin Junction to Skelton Junction, Including Scarborough Branch and York Yards Up and Down Routes" (dated 1969).

Thanks for that Ian. Possibly later on the dates as there was some further simplification going on in the '80s. That looks to match how it became in 1984.

 

Cheers,
