Norton West signal box (NE, 1910) & Andy driving R282 WLE Norton West Junction signal box is a later and simpler North Eastern Railway design dating from 1910. It controls the semaphores at the western side of the triangular junction and the level crossing. The line coming from the northwest leaves the ECML just south of Ferryhill and usually carries only freight but also is a useful diversionary route. Indeed, two years ago (2012) it was a diverted Grand Central service that was involved in a SPAD incident here at Norton West whereby it crossed the level crossing in the foreground with the barriers raised having passed the protecting bracket signal NW36 whilst it was at danger. Andy is seen piloting his Nissan Micra across the level crossing towards me. Keywords: Norton West signal box Andy driving R282 WLE North Eastern Railway Nissan Micra
