The Up Goods Loop being relaid today, preparations for Platform 4 now well underway! No sight of the loco hauled set today (notice the points have been disconnected) - so I assume it is in Birmingham somewhere at the moment.

Individuals, Groups, Schools and Businesses can now book their free visit to the historic Banbury North Signal Box before its demolition on the 8th October ‘16. Working alongside Network Rail, Project Crossover have secured 10 weeks’ access to this irreplaceable box where guided tours will...

Bridge Street is due to be replaced during installation of Electric Spine (depending on any delays). Grimsbury Bridges (x2) would alter the depth of the track bed and accommodate it somehow. I think we are a long way off yet unfortunately though...

It is definitely on - also, you might wanna see... http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=130742

DEMOLITION DEFERRED. PROJECT CROSSOVER SECURES PUBLIC ACCESS TO SEE THE BOX OUT WITH A 10-WEEK SEND-OFF After months of campaigning and hard work, ‘‘Project Crossover’’ has been able to secure a ten-week postponement of the demolition of Banbury North Signal Box to allow public access...

Lots going on during today's block, including ground works for the signalling system to the south of the station, further relaying of the down main line, removal of the old track sidings linked to the down goods loop, and more groundwork's to the north of the station

No, it is in between the Down Main and Down Goods Loop. Current access is by walking to the bottom of Platform 1 and under the road bridge to the Signal Box. We have identified this as a potential access point subject to fencing and elf' n' safety being met with the proper procedures in...

My apologies. The understanding is that it is on the same timeline, so when the connections are put in, both boxes are flattened, is that correct? Agreed there is nothing notable about the south, but it'd be good to try and ensure the signs/anything nostalgic is kept once removed.

I've put this thread within Infrastructure & Stations as it is a current issue, that I am hoping will in the future become a preservation matter. As many of you well know, Banbury North Signal Box is earmarked for demolition in August 2016, due to the upgraded signalling system and connections...

Update now the points are in, work I believe was going on towards the south of the station today.

Both of the mainline points being installed today.

There was a ballast train this afternoon just north of the north signal box, although completely unphotographable. An awful lot of Colas Rail personnel were around shaking hands and all... It appears whatever is gonna happen, is gonna happen tonight due to the lighting being erected and with...

I've been using the Chiltern Mainline quite a lot in the past week and when passing the LaFarge Aggregates Depot to the north of the station, there seems to be an awful lot of activity which I cannot account for. Whilst I am aware of both the Banbury Resignalling and Depot plans, it appears...

http://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/c/jobs/7580 You'll find them here from last years recruitment drive.

AFAIK your right in that Trainee Drivers will be advertised next year; gotta ensure the current batch get through first though! No job reference number, as it's only speculative. Glad to hear it could work out so well for you! :D

From Chiltern Railways... A decent way into the company if your close to the area :)

What an interesting thread this has turned into. So, let's start from the beginning? Man climbs to the top of a semiphore signal at the end of Platform 1 facing North, which is a standard trespass incident; run no trains through the platforms until he is down, detained by BTP, area...

Firstly, what an interesting post to appear within the Railway Jobs & Careers section. This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with the Driver Manager post at Banbury that appeared on the Chiltern website today would it? :lol: Anyhow, having been born and bred here, as a whole the town...

Yes they do.
