Morden signal cabin

Owen writes 'One of my favorite signal boxes. With only three platforms it managed with help from the depot to keep to a 1½ minute service in the rush hour. Your hands never left your wrists but it felt like it.'

Records show that this was a 31 levers lever installation, with 9 points levers, 11 signals.

Morden Signal Box View 1959

Looking North towards the cut and cover tunnels,the first daylight a driver sees for 17 miles.Not a terribly complicated track layout but the interlocking, well that was something else. An interesting layout.

Morden View from Depot 1957

Having got clearance to proceed into Morden Station from the Depot, I managed to rush this shot off.As you can see this was quite a slope into the station,hence the catch points on either side.The route here is set for platform 1.
