Ty-Croes Signal Box (LNWR, 1892) & level crossing
Ty-Croes Signal Box (LNWR, 1892) & level crossing The unusual Ty-Croes signal box with its integrated lineman's accommodation is seen with the manually operated level crossing gates. Built by the LNWR in 1892, the box is largely unmolested retaining its unusual pyramidal slate roof. The signalman has a fair trek to operate the gates going from the box steps around the back of the building to the road. I hope that suitable foul weather clothing is provided by Network Rail for use as in the winter I should imagine that this is a pretty rough place to work!
