Description
For a very brief period and during a desperate staffing crisis, I ended up filling in for a few shifts at the busy Banbury North Signalbox. It was the year 2000 and the box still had another 16 years of life left. Both Banbury South and Banbury North finally closed on August 8th 2016 with control passing over to West Midlands Signalling Centre.
