Melton Station signal box (LMS, 1942)
Melton Station signal box (LMS, 1942) Melton Station signal box is an interesting cantilevered example of an LMS Type 11c structure dating from 1943. Notice the rather flimsy-looking flight of steps leading to the entrance door that today have, obviously, been replaced. Parked behind the box is a Plasser & Theurer tamper stabled in a siding. This area, along with where the pile of coal are seen is today part of the station car park. Also, a large new educational establishment would now dominate this view sitting plumb behind the box above the buildings to the right. Remarkably, the box is still in use today (2023) but is very much on borrowed time with it due to have closed back in 2017. Keywords: Melton Station signal box LMS London Midland & Scottish
