Signalling On The LWR
The signalling used on the LWR is very basic but still forms a vital part of the operations. There are two signal boxes in use:
- Ludborough: built on the foundations of the original box, it is a close replica of what once stood there. Commissioned in 2004 by HMRI the box was official opened in 2005. Contains an 18 lever Mackensie and Holland lever frame which came from Hainton street Grimsby. It currently has 4 working levers and will hopefully in the near future have a few more working levers. Visitors are allowed in the box provided the signalman has given permission to do so
- North Thoresby: situated off the end of the platform. It has a 7 Lever eastern region ground frame in it and all the levers are in use. Its primary function is to control the siding and the main line in the platform.
Whilst North Thoresby has the conventional Upper quadrant signals, Ludborough has the more famous GNR somersault signals.
