All N.R. signal boxes are Private. (It used to be Rule 72a, in old rule books). However, Settle Station signal box does open to the public. See http://www.settle-carlisle.co.uk/explore-the-line/stations/settle/ for contact details. Just remember, this is the Station 'box, not the current Junction one.

Smash the window and let yourself in; an emergency, unwritten rule, if one forgets your keys.

" said:All N.R. signal boxes are Private. (It used to be Rule 72a, in old rule books).Um, I can't see any contact info on that page. Looking around the Web, all I can find is that the two boxes have been preserved by Friends of the S&C and have been restored as visitor attractions, but no times are given.

Settle Station is open every Saturday or by special arrangement if anyone else is interested. Does anyone know when Armathwaite opens?
