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?].
An entry in the 'working over' section of the Eastern Region (Southern area) Supplementary Operating Instructions, issued 2 April 1977, instructed its readers to delete the entry for Ashbury Ground Frame. So the ground frame itself was definitely abolished at some point before then.
