The Signal Diagram used by Washwood Heath Sidings No 1 Shunting Frame to control trains arriving and departing from the sidings

The Signal Diagram used by Washwood Heath Sidings No 1 Shunting Frame to control trains arriving and departing from the sidings. The original intent under the 1969 resignalling scheme was to retain a local facility to enable quicker shunting manoeuvres, but this was restricted because the shunting frame's every move had to be coordinated with Saltley Power Box which ultimately controlled all activities. The shunting frame and Saltley Power Box were both replaced by computerised signalling from the West Midlands Signalling Centre which was sited just across the road from the Saltley Power Box.
