Welcome to the photo website of the Swindon Panel Society!

Our group is preserving Swindon Panel, one of the original Western Region “turn push” type panels, the staple panel design of the Great Western since the 1960s, before all the remaining examples close forever in the next few years.

The panel will be reconstructed and refurbished in its 1980′s form and housed at Didcot Railway Centre, where it will be on display and realistically operated with a simulator back-end for the educational benefit of visitors to the Centre and railway enthusiasts.

You can get involved in saving the example of this generation of railway signalling development!

You can read all about the project, keep up with all the latest news, and learn how you can get involved. We have also brought together a rapidly-growing quantity of research on the life of Swindon MAS and the life of the panel, including photographs, signalling notices and documents.
