GWR Route: Stratford Upon Avon to Honeybourne

Evesham Road Crossing: gwr_everd1676

A three-quarters view of the 1960 replacement signal box erected to replace two signal boxes and work the new southbound connection

A three-quarters view of the 1960 replacement signal box erected to replace two signal boxes and work the new southbound connection. The 1960-built connection from the SMJ to the GWR's Cheltenham line required a larger frame hence the need to build such a larger signal box. Unusually for 1960, the signalman here would not have been able to see the trains on this new curve; all movements were controlled by electrically operated points and signals, with track circuits giving the location of the trains.
