Abergele Signal Box - looks better with a lick of paint!
Abergele Signal Box - looks better with a lick of paint!
Abergele signal box closed on Saturday 24th March 2018 along with seven others during Phase 1 of North Wales Coast Resignalling over that weekend. The whole area between Abergele inclusive to Rockcliffe Hall (near Shotton) is now controlled from Wales ROC based in Cardiff. The signal boxes at Abergele, Rhyl No2 (closed March 1990), Rhyl No1, Mostyn and Holywell Junction are all Grade 2 listed and all had a lick of paint (apart from Rhyl No2) since they closed. The signal box at Mostyn closed on the 9th January 2017, this being the first casualty under Phase 1 to enable remodelling of the layout in the Mostyn area to take place.
