As we about to leave and head on to Boston, the signalman emerged from the warmth of Hubberts Bridge box to close the gates to the B1192 road. After a short wait, 156401 passed working the 2S13 10.45 Nottingham to Skegness. This service takes a real cross-country route including a reversal at Grantham. It also passes through a number of block posts controlled by traditional semaphores and 'proper' signal boxes!
