Waiting for the "Peg", the Saint and Jubilee sit on platform 2 under the impressive signal gantry
The Green "John H Gretton" sits by the water tower on the shed road line waiting clearance from control to enter the station complex
Also note the black boxes protecting the pneumatic point motors which are brought into play on public days when the system interlocks with the signals and all movements are under strict control of the signalman with no SPADs allowed!!
At all other times, the railway runs on spring points and no signals to allow minimal manpower operation
