[easta007]

the signal box was burned down a few days ago :(

[mikesndbs]

@easta007 So I heard, not seen any news on it yet but what a great shame after all the effort!

[brucesterman]

[AndyDeiu]

It's awesome because in romania you can't see a house on a road train and it's something coool

[mikesndbs]

[mikesndbs]

Hi, I think you are referring to the Bognor Model Railway club chaps?

[eugi0070]

Thanks very much for showing this. Worked many shifts there myself (93 onwards), long tough hours, but happy ones! We won Best Signalbox 1998!! Good luck with the relocation, station looks a bit bare at the moment!

[mikesndbs]

Thanks! gtlad you liked it :-)

[mikesndbs]

Are you in the new box now?

[eugi0070]

hi yes in the new box occasionally as a relief, a bit different from the levers!

[mikesndbs]

I bet, have to pop up and see it one day

[bob4jjjj]

Nice video Mike.

Looks a bit cold and damp there on the day.

Worth the wait though.

Good job :-)

[mikesndbs]

Thanks Bob, yes it was very cold and wet LOL but a worthwhile day for sure

[mikesndbs]

Hey everyone thanks for comments and ratings! I am so surprised and pleased to see this video getting so many honours :-)

[LMSStanier]

Great capture of a unique event. Thanks for braving the elements to film this, and for posting.

[mikesndbs]

:-) Thanks very much, yes it was very cold LOL

Hi Mike, glad some one got some footage, very little local coverage for such a nostalgic event. I drive trucks so see lots of wide load etc movements but this was something special. Live in Eastergate so v local to me. nice work. top marks. Garry.

[mikesndbs]

Hi Garry and thanks :-) the BBC was there but I have not seen it on TV. A nice lady camera/producer was there filming for West Sussex County Council, it will be on their web site in a while. Cheers Mike

[mikesndbs]

If you like this video please take time to rate it for me, thanks. Mike

[signalman28]

A great video, such a unique event. I was lucky enough to work the last ever shift in that box.

[mikesndbs]

Aha, thanks very much glad you liked the video. Yes I have been signalled by it many times :-) It was lovely inside! a testament to how you guys kept it.

[signalman28]

Thanks, yeah I think it's good to keep the levers & brass looking clean in the old boxes.

[MarioSPONG]

Aww. I was hoping this moment was never gonna come. :(

I've lived in Littlehampton for 8 years, and have travelled past this box and changed at Barnham in all that time to see my Granny in Chichester.

Not ever gonna be the same without it. :(

Thanks for sharing the video, Mike. :)

~ Sean. :)

[mikesndbs]

Hiya Sean, yes its sad in that way, but at least it lives on and will be enjoyed for many years to come. The new signal box is located on a little further towards Chichester now.

[airfoxtrot2006]

Nice video, well done for braving the conditions! it will certainly look different at Barnham now.

[mikesndbs]

Hey you were fast :-) thanks glad you enjoyed it. Yes I was frozen by the time I went home, but a sight I never thought I would see.
