Princes Risborough North Signal Box

http://www.risboroughbox.org.uk/

One of our preserved railways has a much large box than us, and have almost completed its restoration! Read all about it at this website. It will in the future control the Chinor and Princes Risborough Railway's trains which are now running into a revived platform. Part of the box will eventually be open to demonstrate the working of signal boxes in a similar way to our demonstrations at St Albans.

Occasional Open Days are held to show the work in progress - see their website.

A link to the restored box at Settle Station on the famous Settle-Carlisle line. This box is just over a year older than ours at St Albans, and significantly smaller! But like us the Friends of the Settle-Carlisle Line have restored the box and open it on a regular basis - see the linked page for details.

Swindon Panel Preservation

http://www.swindonpanel.org.uk/

This group has preserved the Swindon Panel, one of the original Western Region "turn push" type panels, as an example of the staple panel design of the Great Western since the 1960s, before they all close forever in the next few years. Construction of a building at the Didcot Railway Centre to house the panel started in 2015 to house the panel which came out of use in February 2016. In April 2016 the panel was moved from Swindon to Didcot and into the new building. A "Grand Opening" took place on the 23rd June 2018. Please see their website for details of when the panel is on public display.

Chorleywood Signal Box

https://www.chorleywoodsignalbox.co.uk/

A new project initiated in 2020. They had hoped to reopen the box to the public as a local museum, in particular looking at the way the railway caused the locality to grow and the "Metroland" publicity of the 1920s and 30s. Regrettably the costs of converting the box and keeping in compliance with the requirements of Transport for London, who own it, were too high for the project to proceed. But the society has produced an interesting book looking at the history of the railway and Chorleywood - see their website for details. 

The box was last used in the 1960s, and contains no signalling equipment.
