A DMU driver on a service to Stratford on Avon is about to exchange the token with the signalman from Hatton West Signal Box

A DMU driver on a service to Stratford on Avon is about to exchange the token with the signalman from Hatton West Signal Box. The photograph must have been taken between 12th January 1969 when the line to Stratford on Avon was singled, thereby requiring the driver of a train to collect a token in order to travel on the line, and 1st September 1969 when the signal box was closed. The control of accessing the branch line together with much of area around Birmingham was then the responsibility of Saltley Power Box.
