Signalbox. This delightful signalbox at Warrington Arpley Junction dates back to 1918 and is of LNWR origin. It was built with LNWR 54 lever tappet frame. 91 years later this signalbox is still in use and there is currently no plans to replace it. This was the scene on Saturday 14th August 1999.

View of Dyce signal box, built in 1880 for the
Great North of Scotland Railway. Dyce, about 6 miles
north east of Aberdeen, was once an important junction
but is now just a passing loop. Dyce is surprisingly
busy: quite a few trains from Edinburgh and Glasgow reverse here,
as well as trains passing through on their way to/from Inverness.
The signal box was refurbished, repainted and reroofed a couple of years ago.
The upper-quadrant semaphore signals were installed
around 1970. The left-hand signal is "off" to allow
an Aberdeen-bound train to depart.

| Par_(1)_Signal_Box_30.7.2017: The railways around Par and nearby St.Blazey are still controlled by semaphore signals, of the former Great Western Railway’s lower-quadrant pattern (i.e. the signal arms are lowered to indicate clear), but they are soon to be replaced by colour lights. The signal box on Par station is seen together with a double starter signal and shunt disc signal, controlling access to the branch line to Newquay. roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |

Hampden Park Signal Box, Hampden Park, Sussex. Hampden Park signal box on the ex-LBSCR line from Lewes to Eastbourne. This signal box was built in the 1888. When I originally started watching trains in 1956, this box was fitted with a large wheel to manually operate the level crossing gates which have since been replaced with half barriers. The photo was taken from a Gatwick Airport-Eastbourne train on Saturday June 5, 1999.
