As previously mentioned on this blog, National Rail are digging up the railway just outside our town station in order to install new signalling. Work seems to be progressing (see photo above) although it's hard to tell if they're on schedule or not, I guess we'll know when we know! Anyway, I hadn't twigged but the new signalling means that the old signal box (on the right hand side of this photo) will be retiring.
Built in 1933 it's faithfully served it's town for 91 years, that's pretty good going I reckon, value for money you could say. I wonder how long it will be before the new signalling has a 404 error or it's Wi-Fi router needs rebooting after a few flakes of snow, we shall see, such is the march of progress.
