The impressive Dyce signal box stands proudly at the end

of the up platform. Despite its recent modernisation, it unmistakably of an earlier GNSR design being of their Type 1 design having a brick base and a hipped roof. The box once controlled a very important junction where branches serving the termini at Fraserburgh, Peterhead and Boddam diverged from the Aberdeen to Keith and Elgin line. Today it has a mini panel and marks the start of a long section of single track to Inverurie. It is also adjacent to the very busy Aberdeen airport with direct access from the station the east terminal. The box is due to be superseded in the coming few years when the single track is doubled and complete resignalling is introduced. I hope that the box is preserved as it is such an early and very rare example of this type.
