Exeter West Group Members Training

[@andrewmerriman7133]

As a former Movements Inspector I was very impressed with the way that the two Signalmen worked the frame without getting flustered especially when the bell signals were not recognised. I have subscribed to your channel and will watch more videos later. Andrew.

@@exeterwestgroup6466 Good luck with sorting your technical issues out, I am half way through your night shift video and will comment on it later. Looking forward to some new videos, the on screen written details on what's happening are a really good idea especially for those viewers not as knowledgeable as you are. Andrew.

Do any trains go past the box? I've missed them in this and other videos?

[@BrokenIET]

Exeter West used to control the the western end of Exeter St Davids, however in the 1970s the box became surplus to requirement once colour lights an a new signalling centre were installed. The box was then moved to Crewe Heritage centre (somehow) and now gives demonstrations to the public of the operations of a large signalbox in the days of steam. The fact that the box now resides at Crewe heritage centre means that no trains pass the box. Any sound effects are played through speakers, and the track circuits and bells done by another signaller.
