According to the milepost located at ninety-one and a half miles from London St. Pancras Wistow, signal box is seen in a particularly remote location. In fact, it took Graham and me quite some time to reach the box navigating our way through a number of fields and assaulting an embankment! It is a Midland box but its date of opening is not known unless anybody can supply me with the information? A further indication of the remoteness of the box is the bags of coal stacked up next to the box that will have been delivered by a passing train that will have stopped in the adjacent loop.
