Chapel Lane Crossing Signal box frame with the Signals pulled off (with kind permission of Network Rail) 7th Feb 2024 ©

            The very last working Semaphore Signals on the L&Y Wigan Wallgate to Southport line are in their last few days of use. Network Rail are activating the new Colour Lights (which can be seen in the pictures) with a 9 day occupation of the line. Chapel Lane crossing box (the last active one on the line) will disappear and Parbold Cabin will loose its lever frame for a panel. These pictures will be a historic record of the old way! 

With the gates closed to traffic and locked with the gate Bolt (Brown Level No. 3) the semaphores Up and Down Home and Distant (levers 1, 2, 4 & 5) can be pulled off as seen in the lever frame.
