I wonder if the class 101 stopped because a door was open? great footage, love all your videos.

Hi did you ever know any signalmen who worked the long-gone Clegg Hall Box ?

Great stuff again John. Really enjoying the sequences where you're working the block instruments, thanks for taking the time to explain it. With regards to your 'oops' moment, I assume simply re-offering the train again was the unofficial method, rather than having to cancel first? By the way- did you do all your own filming or did you have an assistant (the cat???) :-)

It may have been the unofficial way of correcting an error in sending a bell code but it worked. I always did my own filming, three of my boxes had cats and they were not helpful at all :o)

Cats never are lol. Thanks again for the videos, please keep-em coming! I'm currently doing a correspondence course on signalling with Network Rail and I'm finding these really useful :-)
