Looking southeast from the Spring Cottage overbridge towards the once-busy Moira Junction reveals that the West Junction signal box still stands. However, everything in this scene is mothballed and non-operational since the withdrawal of freight along this route with all remaining stone traffic from the quarries near Coalville heading east to connect with the MML. Hidden in the undergrowth to the left is the long siding that led off up the steeply graded section to Radon Colliery. Martin Loader (aka The Hondawanderer) has a number of photographs taken in happier times, for example, see..... http://www.hondawanderer.com/56025_Moira_West_Junction_1989.htm
