signalling diagrams/ information for the staveley works and town line 1980's

[MCW]

Hello all,

I have taken heavy interest in this line lately and have looked at various modern photos on the internet and done some research. from the bridges over the line that i can stand on, there seems to be a gap in signal numbers. the line that spurs off south east at barrow hill sidings goes down to another spur to complete a triangle. there are two signals there which are visable from the road one of which is S 253 and I assume S 254. if i walk further down i can just about see signal 257, yet on this disused line there does not seem to be any signals in between.

i wondered if anyone has any diagrams or photos from when the line was in use to help me investigate the infrastructure more.this line in its modern context used the old GCR chesterfield loop track bed, which is also another reason why i take deep interest.

any information would be great, headcodes, signalling diagrams, working time tables and photos are all of interest so i can build up some documentation on the history of the line. any help is appreciated, cheers

Try the Signal Box site they go in for that sort of thing big time.

Be careful - it's not "mansheffield", it's "mans : sheffield" without the spaces.

The colon followed by the 's' turns it into a smiley. Correct the above error and it'll work fine.

This should work as the above link.

LOL the 1980's diagram gives a "404" error page not found.

cheers guys looked earlier and that diagram is interesting, I could do with a staveley to bolsover disgram as well, that would be handy. also when did the bolsover line close?
