interlocking, signal box
One of the last remaining mechanical signalbox in the Greater London area with mechanically worked semaphores and traditional block working.
Plans were drawn up at the start of the 1990s under British Rail to demolish Greenford East signal box and replace its semaphore signals, and share the upgraded signalling between the newly built Slough IECC and the forthcoming Marylebone IECC. These plans however were subsequently shelved indefinitely, as the declining frequency of rail traffic controlled by Greenford East simply did not justify the huge financial cost of such an upgrade. This situation might change in the future though, if the often-proposed Crossrail project is finally realised.
