Leicester PSB closed as a signal centre yesterday 24th December 2011. All control now moved to East Midlands signalling centre at Derby. I remember Leicester PSB opening in 1986 when I was on the footplate at St.Pancras & Bedford. When all things considered, Leicester PSB must be one of the shortest lived PSBs compared to the likes of Sheffield, Derby, Trent & West Hampstead.

Now two WestCAD workstations. Incorporates the recent-ish Croft Workstation, So I believe Croft SB will have closed down too. This mean that Derby now fringes with Rugby SCC Nuneaton workstation.

Two westcad workstations don't provide the same panoramic view as the original installation which can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/llangollen_signalman/sets/72157628110176730/ Log in to reply |
