    Banbury - all the changes

    It's going to be tight to get all of the works done for the blockade! The first stage of the depot is due to be commissioned then.

    Signal Boxes in Birmingham/West Midlands area

    I believe that both of these are under West Midlands SC now. Leamington Spa is (according to the Sectional Appendix I have) still under Leamington Spa SC although I believe that is changing to WMSC under the resignalling of the Chiltern Lines over the coming months.

    Severn beach line works?

    In the picture on the OP you can see the bridge :) For further reference, the bridge is roughly 1000m from the buffer stop on the sidings.

    Severn beach line works?

    The link to the mainline is just beyond the river bridge via a ground frame. The 2 road sidings go to 12 1/4 MP.

    Trivia: Stations that should be rebuilt on a different site

    Agreed on that one, especially moving it over the bridge. Might be something to do with the LNE/LNW boundary though (as far as I'm aware/can remember the station is in LNE but the relay room there is named Thornhill LNW).

    Yeah the points look like they're going to be power worked by machine. Depot signalling goes from stop boards at the entrance. Routes into the depot are given by a slot from the depot.

    Banbury - all the changes

    I imagine so. My knowledge is limited as I'm (we're) only dealing with the interface signalling between the Siemens mainline and the depot signalling system.

    Banbury - all the changes

    No problem, we're organising site visits soon anyway. I guess you're right that there'll be a lot of ground works before any work commences, I'm no expert on this either as I'm S&T. Although stage 1 is meant to be commissioned in less than a year so they'll have to get a wriggle on..

    Banbury - all the changes

    Hey guys, sorry to kind of resurrect this post. I'm currently working on this, just wondered if anyone has any photos of the progress on the depot? Regards Matt
