On Friday 22 October, signallers at Bridlington South signal box will pull the levers for the last time – before the 65-lever frame is upgraded with a modern control panel. Over nine days, the older mechanical signals next to the track will also be replaced with modern colour light ones. The signalling equipment has been in place for over 60 years. Although it is iconic, it is now outdated and renewing it will improve reliability and reduce disruption on the railway.
