Title: AQ23 - 4th December - what year Post by: grahame on December 04, 2023, 05:54:13 Four signalling changes - but can you identify the year? One each, initially, please.
1. Marmalade the cat transferred from Brewery Sidings to Diggle Junction in connection with his being made redundant under the Manchester North resignalling 2. The hydraulically operated gates at Brigg (the last in the country) are to be replaced by barriers controlled from the existing signal box. 3. Bo-peep Junction to be abolished, area to be controlled from South Kent (Ashford). 4. Tondu box to close, area to be controlled from South Wales Regional Operations Centre at Cardiff.

Here is Tondu box on 18th August - I'm not sure what has happened since either (http://www.wellho.net/pix/tondubox.jpg) Title: Re: AQ23 - 4th December - what year Post by: bradshaw on December 04, 2023, 18:07:00 Brewery Sidings Marmalade the cat transferred from Brewery Sidings to Diggle Junction in connection with his being made redundant under the Manchester North resignalling. https://signalbox.org/section-c/alterations-1998/ The same page has this which I did not know about At Yeovil Pen Mill and Yeovil Junction battery operated signal lamps, which supposedly last six months, are being installed in all signals after trials carried out here. They run on just 4 volts. The lamps are manufactured in original style by Signal House Ltd. of Leighton Buzzard. This was widely mis-reported in the press as the first electric lamps in semaphore signals!

Marmalade - 1998 Brigg - yet to be answered Bo-Peep indeed has not happened yet and there is a date there in the future Tondu indeed listed for this year (2023) Title: Re: AQ23 - 4th December - what year Post by: bradshaw on December 05, 2023, 17:43:30 BoPeep 2048!
