Batley signal box took a little finding as it is

situated some distance east of the station down a remote lane that goes nowhere! It was previously known as Lady Ann Crossing and was constructed by LNWR to their type 4 design opening in 1878. Today it controls no semaphores but is simply a gate box for the pedestrian crossing that can also be used by the emergency services. In 2016 it was proposed that the box and the crossing would close. After pressure from the local community and questions in parliament from the late MP for the area Jo Cox, Network Rail withdrew its plans.
