Sheffields 5 panels, have become 2 Work Stations at York. Sheffield Work Station and Rotherham Work Station. Sheffield WS controls, roughly, DRONFIELD/TOTLEY (not including totley box) through Sheffield to and including Meadowhall.

Why not Totley box?

Also, was Hebden Bridge Box subject to these works?

Totley Tunnel East works Absolute Block to Grindleford, so would require quite extensive alterations to transfer its workload to York, including some form of train detection right through the tunnel to Grindleford, and several changes to the signalling installation there too.

Hebden Bridge? No where near Sheffield.

Sorry - mainly used to the other way to Manchester... Sometimes get the two routes mixed up!

Thanks... That explains a lot

This is a re-control with no change to the track layout or trackside equipment. I guess Totley Tunnel East would go as part of a future Hope Valley re-signalling to increase capacity as proposed by Northern Hub. This would include Dore re-doubling and possibly loops at Grindleford or elsewhere.
