Signal Box Experiences
Ever wondered what it takes to control a railway? Now is your chance to find out.
Go beyond the platform and into the heart of the Epping Ongar Railway. In our authentic rebuild of the original LNER signal box, you wont just watch history - you'll control it.
Perched above our most complex junction, the North Weald Signal Box is the nerve centre of our operation. Under the expert guidance of one of our trained signalling supervisors, you'll master the skill of heritage railway signal operations :
- Take the Levers: Operate the genuine interlocked lever frame, the traditional hub of signal box operations.
- Master the Technology: Learn the intricacies of the electronic Key Token System and use it to communicate with other signal cabins.
- Manage the Mainline: Direct train movements, control points, and ensure the safe passage of traffic east and west.
- Suitable for everyone: no previous experience is necessary and you'll be working closely with an expert signaller
This is an unparalleled, hands-on opportunity to experience the responsibility, precision, and thrill of heritage railway signalling from the inside. Starting at 10 AM and lasting up to 6 hours this is the Ultimate Day Out
