www.video125.co.uk the UK's favourite railway film producer took a 'live' outside broadcast unit to Shrewsbury to record a day in the life of the largest surviving mechanical signal box - Severn Bridge Junction. With trains coming in from three main routes, it takes two signalmen to man the box. Presenting the programme is Arfon Haines Davies. He and Area Movements Inspector Bernard Hitch comment on the activities as they happen. Oh, the date, by the way, was 30th June 1990 - a busy summer saturday in which we see classic BR trains come and go. First generation DMUs, sprinters, class 47 hauled InterCitys, class 37 hauled Regional trains, freight, parcels units and even a steam excursion. So much variety and now so much of an archive. How much does this all cost? A tenner, that's all. Ten quid including VAT, postage (within the UK) and packaging. There is even a money back guarantee, but we bet that you will watch this more than once.

Thanks. Many of our Driver's eye views take us inside various signal boxes. For example on the Cumbrian Coast or Chiltern Take Two - in many cases signal boxes that have long since been abolished. However we also show modern signalling centres. For example all FIVE responsible for Eurostar services from Brussels to London. We haven't made another production like One Day in Severn based entirely on the signalling though.

It's incredible that this signal box is still in use to this day. Network Rail even did a little refurbishment in 2021: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7F5pdNyttnTmqM.html (If you compare the two videos you can see that this box has not changed at all in these 30 years!)

Was this signalbox abolished or did Network Rail keep it considering it's Europe's biggest mechanical one?

It is still in daily use, not because it is the largest but because the costs of resignalling the Shrewsbury area have so far proved prohibitive.

I think he was the guard , wanting to know why they couldn't just run straight in the platform . and if he should get off the train and go to the phone at the signal man .

no still here in 2019, and still going strong with almost twice as many train movements now as there was when this was filmed in 1990 and more additional services coming over the next couple of years. Shrewsbury is seeing a kind of railway rennaisance right now with both passenger numbers and services doubling since privatisation. Platform 3 is now back in full operational service and the station and canopys are undergoing full referbishment. All new rolling stock will also be put into service over the next few years and from May 2019 Shrewsbury will see 3 trains per hour to Birmingham.
