Alrewas signal box (LNW, 1899) 
 I last visited Alrewas in 2014, see..... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/30015978864/alrewas-signal-box. Then it was hot and sunny summer's day rather than a dismal February evening as is the case today! The fine LNWR box dates from 1899 and controls the short section of track that links the WCML at Litchfield TV with the Midland route at Wichnor Junction. We were invited into the box by the signalman and he explained that since my last visit in 2014, traffic had increased particularly at night with CrossCountry Voyagers traversing the route as empty stock heading to and from their large maintenance facility at the Central Rivers depot. He also said that he enjoyed working this box due to its quiet location despite being fairly close to the A38 dual carriageway that runs behind the trees in the background.
