Farewell semaphore signals
Over the weekend of 24th and 25th of March 2018 the North Wales coast line was resignalled with colour lights between Rockcliffe Hall and west of Abergele. The signalboxes at Rockcliffe Hall, Holywell Junction, Mostyn, Talacre, Prestatyn, Rhyl and Abergele were abolished and control is now from Cardiff. The signal in this view is Prestatyn up distant, also known as PN14. This originally had four signal arms as there was once an intermediate box between Rhyl and Prestatyn known as Rhyl Sands. This signal became redundant at 20.20 on friday 23rd March when Prestatyn signal box switched out for the last time. For the record the train is 37670 + 37401, 02-08-2009,
UPDATE: The arm on this signal was removed at 17.00 on 24-03-2018.
