Apparently, Network Rail's medium-term plan is that the line should be operated by just two signal boxes - the new box at Low Row for the western part of the line, and a box at Prudhoe for the east. From your photographs, it appears that the new box at Low Row has at least retained the flavour of the boxes on the line, with its tiled roof and white windows.

Has the manned level crossing at Denton Village been retained, or has that gone as part of the Low Row scheme?

I'm surprised that the box at Bardon Mill has lasted so long out of use. I believe its crossover is to be removed?

I would imagine that the boxes at Wylam and Hexham are unlikely to be demolished. I don't know if they are listed buildings. The box at Haltwhistle is, I believe, listed.

There is a letter in the most recent Rail that might be of interest:D
