GWR Semaphore Signals in Cornwall 2023

Network Rail is planning to close three of Cornwall’s signal boxes later this year and move control to Exeter so I took a day trip to see 100 year old technology in action.

Something Very Solid and Reassuring about the Sound created by Lower Quadrant Semaphore Signals..

What an excellent record of working semaphore in Cornwall, sadly now being replaced with Leds!
Well done, no annoying commentary. 😊

I have spent an afternoon in LL Tower . Friendly operator , great set up here. Old school technology , still works as intended. Sure miss these towers in the US !
