Warmley Signal Box & Waiting Room (you'd wait a long, long time for a train. The Mangotsfield and Bath branch line closed in 1971.).
The signal box is maintained in (sort of) working order, for school visits & the like.
The Waiting Room offers a range of snacks & drinks Brit Rail never managed.

The heritage #railway at which I #volunteer is fortunate to have an example of a #signalbox and mechanically interlocked lever frame to operate the points and signals for one of our stations. I was able to do a day in there this week and took a few pictures which I'll share over the next few days.

The picture below shows a part of the frame: more details in the alt text.

The interior of a 1880s era signalbox, showing the levers that control signals (red) points (black) and locking bars (blue).  Most of the levers are in the normal (upright) position but there is one in the foreground and one towards the far end that are pulled. The lever frame sits in a large room with windows all around through which the signaller can see the movements of the trains around the station

I’ve been working this panel for at least 16 years. Is it time that 1 & 3 Still gnals took the plunge and went permanent? #trains #signalbox
