Maidstone East signal box - 23rd May 2017
Don't be fooled by the bland exterior of this place. Inside it is quite a unique box, combining the miniature style type "L" frame, an "NX" panel and a Westcad section.
Built in 1962, this box is a relative youngster in the area. The Westinghouse type "L" style miniature lever frame will be unique when Liverpool Lime Street closes in 2018. Indeed, the magpies of the S&T department have already been investigating the use of spares from Lime Street to prolong the life of the SR box.
