Back to Ground Frames

The ground frame controlled a facing and a trailing crossover. It was protected by semi-automatic signals DM.70 and UM.71.

It was released by Uffington signal box from the time that Ashbury signal box closed under Swindon MAS Stage 1 on 12 November 1966[1].

When Uffington SB closed at control over the release passed to Swindon Panel in Swindon MAS Stage 5.


Removal

The trailing crossover was taken out of use in June 1973 [and presumably the GF removed?].
