Andy and I arrived on to Arnside's down platform as the 08.38 Preston to Carlise Northern service was just departing. This is the reason why the rear of 156452 is partially obscured by the trespass sign. I did at least manage to capture the superbly situated Furness Railway Type 4 signal box dating from 1897 the Kent Estuary in the background. There is talk that this box is to join many others on this line and become a listed structure by Historic England. This will create another headache for Network Rail as to what to do with it when its use as a signal box coes to end that should be in the not to distant future.
