Great but very sad video. I only ever went to Morecambe Prom Station on the way to Lancaster from the Manx Ferry.

Awesome!

I managed to visit morecambe prom box to get some photos on an early sunday evening in december 1993,the signalman on duty was an elderly guy with a full head of white hair,(i didnt get his name)but he made me very welcome.
He had the radio on & was listening to a sunday program on BBC Radio 2 called "sing something simple".(its funny what you remember).
A lot of the track,P&C & station area was clipped up out of use pending removal.
Even in its twilight moments morecambe prom box was special

@enochsneed I'm officially jealous. To think that the points leaver is little more than a raised box at the other end of Euston Road bridge now...

Hi all - you're more than welcome to check out the Wikipedia article I created about the station. Just type Morecambe Promenade railway station into Wikipedia / Google. Feel free to add any info I've missed out!
Cheers

Thanks for posting this! My uncle was a signalman based in Morecambe and when I was a lad I used to visit him at Heysham Harbour, Hest Bank and here at Prom Station. I don't know who enjoyed it more. He got to take it easy and I got to work the signals, points and telegraph (under supervision of course). The Main Crossover Frame at Prom was a bugger to shift! Thanks for reigniting some happy memories.

What a shame. At least the last train was something more substantial than a 153. Quite sad to see the box lights flashing like that.
