Running two hours late behind loco 57003, the 4M55 liner from Southampton to Crewe passes one of the numerous repeater signals that are strung out along the Sutton Park line, on the approach to Aldridge this afternoon. 57003 was Brush Type 4 D1798 in a past life, built at Loughborough in January 1965. Unusually the trackside relay cabinets here are mounted on platforms above the cess and troughing.

Yes they have been around some years, its hard to imagine since they have been renumbered so many times and now re-engined. New sheds will see them off.....
Gerrum while ya can ! Cabinets must be something to do with risk of water intake ??
