As per the post above, due to major changes/slippages,Can anybody point me to an official list of expected closure dates for various signal boxes?
I know that Derby PSB is currently being decommissioned
(the Burton/Wichnor area panel moved to the EMCC earlier this month)
Are you interested in a particular box/route??

(Re-control of all York & Harrogate IECC workstations)
2018.08 Trans-Pennine (Ph.2) workstation (TMS Interfaced/Integrated)
(Re-control of Mill Lane SB, Halifax SB & Batley SB)
...also got some CP5 proposed commissioning dates for a few other ROCs if anyone's interested? All subject to change of course!
2017 for Transpennine!? Not likely, especially seen as TM has largely been scaled back or cancelled.
Sorry. Yes, just the Burton part of the west panel area (certainlyHas not moved just yet, it is still gradually being commissioned - this weekend involved some overnight commissioning.
I think the North Wales Coast has slipped to November 2017 nowsdd said:Yes - Beeston Castle & Chester, plus any near Llandudno.
Can anybody point me to an official list of expected closure dates for various signal boxes? I thought I'd seen something on the net, but I can't find it now.
Thanks.
According to the Section C page on thesignalbox website, Bognor is due to go in 2018 and Lancing, Arundel, Littlehampton in 2016. Lewes is supposedly being done at the same time as Newhaven.
Of course, this plan seems to get pushed back several times a year. Pevensey - Bexhill was supposed to have been done in 2013! Around those parts, I still need to photograph Arundel, Polegate (I think it's preserved) and Plumpton crossing box.
Really? Beeston Castle is linked in with Crewe works so Im doubtful they have pushed that to the end of CP6 as it was due in the next year or so.

I was In a staff reps meeting at TBROC yesterday (21/05/15) and those above planned dates were confirmed by one of the managers attending.
Thanks for confirming from ROC / route level.
Depending upon which supplier is selected I hope to have significant involvement in Thameslink TM deployment.
Did you happen to get a date for Victoria II, Stage 2: Sutton-Wimbledon-Mitcham? Dec 2016/Easter 2017 possibly? Thx.
The latest list, although some will no doubt change again:-x

Nothing was said about it at this time but there were broad discussions on the floor plan beyond the Thameslink POD. Would just like add that I wasn't there to discuss ROC issues but that's we we hold our meetings and took an opportunity to talk to those in the know who also attend our meetings.
Back in February this year I photographed Berwick, Bexhill, Polegate, Pevensey & Westham, Eastbourne and Hampden Park but was on a daytrip (from Bristol - was I mad? LOL) and so found no time to do Bo-Peep Junction and Plumpton GB but I still intend on doing those two, along with Lewes and Hastings.
I believe Plumpton GB is down for later this year. Is this still the case? And what about the boxes at Bognor, BPJ, Lewes & Hastings?
