PARKEND Signalbox

Thanks to our colleagues at the Dean Forest Railway , we get to look at the operations of PARKEND Signalbox, a mix of traditional GWR mechanical frame and interlocking and modern Frauscher axle counting wheel sensors and technology which controls the end of the heritage line .

There are plans to extend beyond PARKEND which one day may be realised, to that end the line beyond the crossing and the interlocking are in place to control the signalling and points when the extension goes ahead, whilst the gates and points are for now controlled manually as required for running around operations.
