Enamel, Magdelen station In my contemporary notebook from 1981, I wrote that at Magdalen there was an 'LNER blue enamel on the entrance gate to the signal box.' Looking at the sign now it appears to be of BR (Eastern) heritage rather than LNER but its existence is still of interest. Notice that when the gate was painted the sign was not removed with rather crude over painting around the edges; perhaps the flat head screws were too rusted up or was it just laziness on behalf of the operative?
