Truro signal box (GWR, 1889)
Truro signal box (GWR, 1889) With its level crossing located between the platform end and the signal box this spot at Truro is a busy one similar to the layout just north of Exeter St. David's station. I took this photograph that shows the change over of shift at 14.00 with the signalmen descending the steps as he comes off-shift. The box is a GWR Type 7A structure dating from 1889. At the time of writing (2022) the box is still in use but the inevitable plans have recently been announced for the resignalling of the entire route from Plymouth westwards so its time is clearly numbered.
