LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton
Canley Halt: lnwrchg2804
Looking from the up platform towards Canley Gates signal
cabin after the erection of overhead electric wires. The road crossed the
railway at an angle resulting in the gates being very long and heavy and
requiring the signalman to really spin the wheel in order to close or open the
gates at speed. A wire mesh has been fitted to the rail side of the signal
cabin's windows as part of the safety measures being introduced with
electrification. The mesh has been fitted tight to the narrow walk way which
runs around the cabin beneath the glazed sections. The walk way provided the
signalman access to the glass so that it could be cleaned.
