When I visited this spot last summer during my West

of England cycle tour I wild camped very close to this spot just behind the signal box but failed to take a photograph of it. This box was constructed in 1958 by British Railways following the previous one being destroyed by fire. This is a very remote spot high up in the Blackdown Hills with the duty signalmen having a fairly long walk along the trackside to the minor road south of this location. Notice the refuge siding ending at the western portal of the tunnel and the one hundred and seventy-four milepost measured from Paddington via the Brunel route through Bath, Chippenham, Swindon and Didcot.
