giving with one hand and taking away with the other.
The driver of 2C40 - Northern’s 0842 Carlisle to Barrow - swaps tokens with the St Bees signaller on 23 May 2016. The hoop (in the signaller’s right hand) on the St Bees to Sellafield token made it easy for the driver to collect it on the move but nowadays the train must stop and the signaller walk the length of the platform. Of course, prior to 1997 there was only a token to collect as there was no key from Bransty to deposit (seen in the signaller’s left hand).
