Machynlleth doesnt have double track throughout, only a loop and sidings. it also doesn't see any heavy freight nor particularly 66s because of the weight.

Sutton Bridge Junction, Shrewsbury is correct. Well done! I shall have to be more thorough with my editing next time but I admit that I wouldn't have been able to read the name of the fringe box off the diagram!!

havent seen the interior of sutton bridge since it was revamped

Interior of the box, going by the photos I have, is in very good condition.

Correct. Truro it is. You know the area well then, as I don't think I would have got that.

Shippea Hill is correct. I guess the extension to the rear of the box gives it away. SH will probaby get demolished with the resignalling next year. Nice box too: I intend to get a better night photo before the box is shut.

Nobody likes a smart***e though: here are two more.

Firstly, there are unlikely to be many of these left: where is this one?

Secondly, a nice gate box:

Note: the first photo was passed to me by a friend who gave me permission to upload it so I have done so for your delectation. I do not, and will not, condone trespass though and I regret having no idea if this was legally obtained or not. Apologies!

Joe - Paignton does have an old school Wessex Sign, but it wasnt the Paignton one.

Looks a bit like Grangemouth Jn but it's not that close to Grahmaston Platforms (and the wrong end).
