Reading you item, prompted me to dig out some archive photos, which I took at Kirkby Stephen West station on 4th August 1973, of which I e-mailed to Andy for perhaps his future use with the magazine. There is something of interest, you may be able to resolve - on that day I took a photo of the original Midland Railway Signal Box but when I re-visited the station on 3rd May 1982, the box had been replaced with a flat-roof structure. Do you happened to know when the original box was demolished, why and when the new one constructed?

I couldnt find out much info for you other than the signal box was rebuild during 1974, we think it was in need of repair.Sorry i couldnt find out more for you, i am looking forward to seeing your pics in the mag. You could possibly try our website www.kirkbystepheneast.co.uk for some more info.
See you at the rally
