Recent and forthcoming signalling alterations

Compiled by Nick Allsop

Section C of the railwayman's special notices details alterations to signalling that take place. This section of the web site does the same, and covers significant alterations to signalling - past, present and future. The scope covers signal box closures, changes to methods of working and any other matters that are of interest. The records go back to the introduction of these pages in 1998.

You are currently viewing the page showing alterations for 2008. To view details for another year, just make a selection from the dates below.

1998 · 1999 · 2000 · 2001 · 2002 · 2003 · 2004 · 2005 · 2006 · 2007 · 2008 · 2015

Note that where the period of an item covers more than a year (e.g. a major resignalling project), it will be listed on the page for the final year concerned. That year may be in the future, even though some parts may have already been completed. You may have to do a little hunting to find such an item.

New indicates entries that have been added or updated within the last week.

This section is compiled by Nick Allsop, who would be pleased to receive any additional information for these pages.

The Trent Valley section of the W.C.M.L. is to be increased from two to four tracks over the eleven miles between Tamworth and Armitage Junction at a cost of around £300 million. When complete this will see the closure of the LNWR signalboxes at Tamworth and Lichfield (May 2008) and the BR LMR PSB at Nuneaton with control passing to Rugby S.C.C.
