Stratford Upon Avon East was the first to go in April 1998 and was replaced with an interim measure provided in the form of a small panel installed into the neighbouring box of Bearley West. Henley in Arden survived well into the 21st century finally handing over control to West Midlands Signalling Centre in October 2010. At the same time Bearley West closed and then finally Shirley, the last surviving manual box on the line which closed its doors for good on November 1st 2010.
