British Railways inherited about 10,000 signal boxes when it was formed in 1948. In 2019, there were 166 listed signal boxes on our network, including 86 still in use.

Neale Elder took these photographs in Scotland of railway signal boxes he knew, come across and, in some cases, worked.

The Railway Heritage Trust has added two documents to the 'Guidance' section of their website which could be of interest to Community Rail Network members. Both of the documents are from Network Rails new suite of design guidance documents. The first one is the Redundant Signal Box Strategy, which looks at ways to re-use signal boxes which are no longer in operational use. It includes details of various arrangements for allowing community groups/projects to take on such signal boxes.
