Signal box Romiley

[admin]

Although the Planning Portal has not been updated yet I've seen a letter to an objector that says this application has been refused.

Cafe?

Not sure if that would work, OK for hte commuters but otherwise, why make the effort to go up?

There is actually a local campaign to save the signal box:

Such a sad shame that its being removed, I understand why and it is listing to one side! My granddad work at the station during the 2ND World War!  Gives me a very British and warm feeling whenever I see one!!

I assume your comment is ironic? If not, imagine the noise and vibration every time a train passed! The line is (at least it was last time I looked) used for freight as well as passenger services so there could be heavy stuff going through during the night.

Not really, a little extension of the balcony, put in double glazing, gallery kitchen downstairs, I'd like to extend slightly towards the platform which will give a nice dining space. Handy for the train station, gym, pubs, take aways.

What's the asking price?

Quite a collection of photos on flickr, here's one pic from there.

Almost every signal box in the UK is scheduled for demolition during Network Rail's Control Period 5, 2014 to 2019, and the control of all signalling will be centred on a small number of Railway Operation Centres. Six are already in operation and another six, including Manchester, are currently being built. English Heritage have conducted a very comprehensive review, which is available on http://services.english-heritage.org.uk/ResearchReportsPdfs/028-2012WEB.pdf  and some may be retained, although non operational, as heritage buildings. I haven't gone through all 64 pages in detail but I doubt if Romiley is on their list.
