Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Tuffley Junction signal box. A slightly indistinct view of the signal box whose remains can be seen in 556907. This was before the box was replaced by the new Gloucester Power Box. At this point there were 4 main line tracks. The furthest two, signalled with lower quadrant signals, were the former GWR lines from Gloucester Central to Swindon whilst the nearer two, signalled with upper quadrant signals, were the ex-Midland Railway route from Birmingham to Bristol via Gloucester Eastgate. The two sets of lines ran parallel as far a Standish junction and were operated a more or less independent railways! With the resignalling and track rationalisation this stretch was reduced to 2 tracks when the signal boxes closed.
The signal box itself was a WWII era structure. Notice also the large telegraph pole routes, one on each side of the tracks, carrying the signalling and telephone circuits. |
