| The 'box diagram, also in February 1986. Note the single
line section in the middle, which is the then newly-singled Wadhurst tunnel.
The station on the left of the diagram is Stonegate, whilst that to the right
is Frant.

The lever frame and block shelf inside Wadhurst Signalbox.
Roberstbridge has already taken control of the line from Stonegate southwards and Wadhurst has been reduced to a small switch panel mounted on the blockshelf controlling 2 sets of points and two signals: in other words the single line through Wadhurst tunnel. Levers and most of the other equipment are disused now, awaiting the takeover by Tonbridge Panel of Grove Junction and Wadhurst itself - which came later that spring as part of the Hastings line electrification. photograph by Mark Westcott |
