Buxton signal box (LNWR, 1894)
Buxton signal box (LNWR, 1894) The lovely Buxton signal box is seen in some pleasant afternoon sunshine. The box, formally named Buxton No. 1, is an LNWR Type 4 box dating from 1894 that received the UPVC treatment in 2004 that does spoil its looks somewhat. Today it still controls a number of signals radiating on four routes away from the box with absolute block in operation as far as Chapel-en-le-Frith. The remaining three routes are into the station, the Briggs branch up to the Hindlow and Dowlow quarries, and the route to Great Rocks Junction. Keywords: Buxton signal box
