Semaphores and Boxes on the Harrogate line

While in the York area on our 2012 trip, we spent some time on the Harrogate line. There are some unusual signaling features on this line. There is a level crossing lever frame protected by a bus shelter type structure. At Knaresborough, the signal box is built onto the end of a block of row homes. There is a double track passing section between Hammerton and Cattal. The single line on both sides of that is single track with token working. At Cattal, there is a co-acting distant on the section signal that works with a manned level crossing box further west at Skate Moor Lane. At Hammerton, the signal box and token machine are inside the station, while the lever frame is in a cupboard on the station platform. While the only traffic on the line is DMU's, it is an interesting window into 19th Century operating practices.

Fascinating to see how RRS are setup n run across the pond. Gives a interesting perspective n reason why things are way different. .....
Thanks for terrific video. ...

Suppose to be having an upgrade on harrogate to Poppleton line by means of getting rid of the old signals to be replaced by modern signalling and returning to dual track so trains can run every half hour to York
