There is an ongoing project to upgrade the ground level signal box, which includes installing a fully working lever controlled signalling system and renovation of the structure.
 
Replacing the Window.
 
Jonathan Working on Window
Due to the non-standard size, club member Jonathan (seen above) made the window from scratch,
which was brought to the park in pieces and assembled in the station.
 
On Sunday 3rd October 2004 a work party removed the old window
and the new window installed.

In Place and Fixed
The new window in place, because Jonathan made the window such a good fit
very little work will be needed to seal the frame to the brickwork.
The windows were not glazed immediately as the signal lever frame (a very heavy unit)
is going to be installed by passing it through the frame.
 
Progress on the Window
