Bamber Bridge Station

Bamber Bridge Station signal box located by the Up East Lancs line alongside Station Road level crossing. Wednesday 1st August 1990

 

Bamber Bridge Station signal box is a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company non standard design that opened on 7th October 1906 fitted with a 12 lever Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company Tappet frame replacing an 1873 built signal box located diagonally opposite across the level crossing. On 5th November 1972 the lever frame was replaced by a British Railways London Midland Region individual function switch signalling panel and the signal box was reduced to a non block post supervising the adjacent level crossing only after signalling passed to Preston power signal box. The level crossing gates were replaced by lifting barriers on 11th November 1973 and the signal box was refurbished including new uPVC windows in March 2010

 

The signal box carries a British Rail corporate identity printed design nameplate
