br2975 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 To get the ball rolling - who knows the longest (number of letters and spaces) signal box names on the network. . I fancy the following:- . QUAKERS YARD WEST TUNNEL JUNCTION SIGNAL BOX . Which appears to edge out the better known:- . DR DAYS BRIDGE JUNCTION SIGNAL BOX Bristol . and / or other South Walian examples such as: . RHONDDA & SWANSEA BAY JUNCTION SIGNAL BOX North - west of Treherbert or PONTYPOOL ROAD SOUTH JUNCTION SIGNAL BOX . To be fair to all the contenders, I've used the full 'junction' . . Anyone any better ideas ? . Brian R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted July 18, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 18, 2013 Shortest could be Box Signal Box which even if not the shortest, has a nice symmetry about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Shortest could be Box Signal Box which even if not the shortest, has a nice symmetry about it. A bit like Junction Road Junction, near the closed Junction Road Station (http://www.abandonedstations.org.uk/Goblin.html) for added confusion. - Where's the station? - Which station do you mean? - Junction Road station. - It's in Station Road. - Where's that? - Near the junction. - Which junction? - Junction Road Junction of course, duh!
