Absolutely atrocious weather conditions for this. If considerable outside working is needed there'd be a decent argument for postponement.

Latest reports suggest that nothing to move to Exeter in CP7 however plans to modernise Lostwithiel.

Semaphores and mechanical points to be replaced by colour lights and motor points with axle counters.

All to be controlled from an add on to the existing panel but moved to a location nearby.

Talk of a portakabin type affair in the existing down sidings which will be rationalised.

Nothing confirmed but looking more and more likely.

That will be a shame....Lostwithiel is the architypical mechanical signal box, about the only thing missing is the big wheel to operate the gates!

The box (along with Par's) is Grade II listed so the structure should be retained in some form.

Are you sure?   Don't I recall another signal box that was listed, but the listing was removed and the box demolished?
