I'd love to go up these boxes, I contacted their filming liaison officer but was told no despite being a train driver myself! Who did you contact? I'm going there 2 weeks today.
The letter plates below the signals are the initials of the signal box followed by the signal number on the corresponding diagram and associated controlling lever in the box. SBJ - Severn Bridge Jct. CJ - Crewe Jct., etc. Not sure where you got L M C.
Yes an excellent video, again a shame you did not get around to Abbey Foregate box. I went up in most of Shrewsbury boxes in my early teens in late 1960s, care of my father who was S&T sub inspector. Very different and lighter now.
David Giddins We would have liked to have done Abbey Foregate, but as it was we spent about 2 1/2 hours of our guide's time and didn't want to be greedy. He was more than patient with us as it was, as we originally only requested to do Severn Bridge Jct. and Crewe Jct. was a bonus.
Excellent and well made video. Fascinating to see how a large sb like this works.
Great work,loved the scenes in the boxes
Wonderful footage!

Really good video, shame you didn't have time to show the 4th town box. Excellent anyway.
