Large Logo liveried 37407 heads the 09.48 from Norwich into Great Yarmouth, with 37425 out of shot on the rear. 21 02 2018
This is a scene from almost 2 years ago, February 21st 2018. As of today, February 2nd 2020, Semaphore Signals which have been used for the safe operation of trains for the last 175 years have been removed, with the Signalbox on the far right to follow shortly.
The Short Set finished operations on September 21st 2019.
The past few years have certainly been extraordinarily interesting, with the signalling infrastructure and traction on the Wherry Lines, not so much a time for mourning, but more to celebrate that it lasted so long into the 21st Century!
Clarification from an Anglia Trains Driver: I think these signals date back to 1960 when Vauxhall was remodelled. Further change came in November 1977 when Brendon Junction was abolished & some rationalisation done. Another post stated the box dates back to 1884.
