Close up of image 'lnwrn&s2793' showing the up platform
with the signal cabin nearest the camera and the toilets furthest away. The low
density of traffic did not warrant a standard signal box, hence the small
cabin, nor did it justify a dedicated signalman. Therefore the signals and
points would have been the responsibility of a signalling porter who combined
both roles. The signal cabin whilst erected at the same time as the other
structure, housing the booking office, waiting rooms and toilets, is smaller.
The signal cabin was only responsible for setting the signals and points
relating to the passing loop and the single siding goods yard located behind
the photographer.
