I love your wire plants and bell blocking devices over there, and the fact you haven't wiped out all the towers with remote computer-controlled dispatchers.

Very good video, as you can see we're trying to do the same in the U.S.

I want to work as a Signal man one day.

@POON3345 I was a Signalman for 12 years, don't do it unless you are happy to spend many hours alone

[POON3345]

@redm0zzy Well many places they have assistant signalmen. How is that alone?

[edwardianeccentric]

Of course this type of signalling is still in use in many places on the national network- so not just the old trains!

We still have this type of signalling at Barnetby where I work. We have 72 levers and work to the country's second largest box Wrawby jcn which is 137 lvers.
