Title
Greetland No. 2 Signal Box, Nr. Halifax. - NGH00113
Description
Probably seen here in October 1962 following closure of the station the previous month.
The Second World War box was built by the LMS in 1941 replacing the L&YR 1878 box. To the far left of the image part of the up platform building.
The withdrawal of services between Halifax and Huddersfield in about 1970 resulted in the closure of the short section of line from Greetland Junction up to Dryclough Junction, on the outskirts of Halifax, which in turn resulted in Greetland Signal Box being taken out of service. Rail services were restored in 2000 following restoration of the permanent between the two junctions and the Greetland box was brought back into use only to close in 2009 when signalling control was transferred to Healey Mills PSB. The Greetland box was subsequently demolished.
