Farncombe, Godalming UK | 2025
Part of the streetside brick elevation still standing at about 12.15hrs, the demolition crews swarm over the proud shell of Network Rail's Farncombe 1897-build signalbox, marked by nuisance-value only rain showers.
The box had been decommissioned at the end of the final shift in the early hours just before.
It is reported that the nameboard, the backing plate still extant here, will be displayed at the station along with the section track diagram. The stone windowcill teeters on the edge!
It appears that the whole demolition operation had been road accessed with tracked excavators and large volume skips. A debris pile including roof parts is seen between the machines.
Recent normal operations are loaded here too.
