Crewe Signal Box's

Crewe North Junction Signal Box

Crewe North Junction Signal Box is a Westinghouse All Electric Style  'L'  lever frame which was commissioned, along with Crewe South Junction Signal Box, on 29 March 1940 as part of a resignalling project at Crewe. It saw continued use until 19 July 1985 when it was decommissioned for a redesign of Crewe Station and its Track Layout and Signalling.

The signal box was staffed by 7 people, 2 signalmen, a person who filled out the train register, a person to ensure compliance with procedures and 3 electrical engineers.

Now days, The North signal box is ran by Volunteers from the Crewe Heritage Centre, now only opertated by 3 or 4 people.

Crewe South Junction is a signal box very similar to the North Junction Signal Box and was commissioned as part of the same project, Absolute Block Working was operated between Crewe North and South Junctions, with a Block Bell for each platform to communicate with South Junction, 'Train On Line' would be given to South Junction. South Junction closed on 2 June 1985 just over a month before Crewe North Junction closed, all signalling operations were handed over to Crewe Signalling Centre (a Power Signal Box) which still exists to this day.
