RailWest News

The latest changes at RailWest as of 13 June 2013

The Webmaster regrets the infrequent addition of new pages to RailWest. This is due to the ongoing pressures of other activities, but the site does receive regular minor updates to existing pages that do not warrant a specific mention on this page.

More pages are under construction (in addition to those updated recently), but it does take time to research and write them all, so in the meantime we are always glad to receive contributions from our visitors! Click [here] to keep up-to-date automatically with changes at RailWest.

Fotopic Gallery. Sadly Fotopic is now defunct and the RailWest gallery is no longer accessible. It is hoped to create a new gallery on another host in due course.

New Pages:

S&DJR Track Circuits and also S&DJR Treadles - maybe two rather mundane topics, but they all form part of the record of S&DJR signalling!
Evercreech Junction North - a new page in our 'Common Errors' series, correcting erroneous information about some of the signals at this Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway location.

Pages Updated:

Bere Alston - updated with information on a mystery sign!
L&SWR Single Line Sections - updates with additional information on precise dates of change
L&BR Signalling- updates to the Signal Register and the pages on Barnstaple Town and Pilton Yard.
Callington Branch - several of the pages have been updated and expanded with further information.and photographs. The signalling section has been restructured.
Salisbury to Exeter - the pages about the line since the 1967 singling have been extensively re-written, expanded to include the closed stations, and additional photographs added.

Pages Added Previously:

Signalling at Midford - information about the signalling at this Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway station between Bath and Radstock.
Signalling at Wellow - information about the signalling at this Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway station between Bath and Radstock.
Signalling at Glastonbury - information about the signalling at this Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway station, which was also the junction for the branch to Wells.
Longparish Branch - an 'excursion' eastwards into Hampshire for a brief history of this often-forgotten L&SWR branch line, contributed by Ian Sheldon.

Coming Soon:

Signalling at Midsomer Norton, maybe something about Barnstaple Town, hopefully more about the Bideford Westward Ho! & Appledore Railway, the West Somerset Mineral Railway, the Plymouth, Devonport & South Western Junction Railway and....who knows?
