Brownhills West Signal Box
S&T Department

The Signal & Telecomms Department (S&T Dept) has the aim to install, maintain and operate the signalling and telecomms equipment for the Chasewater Railway.


The Work of the Signal & Telecomms Department

  • Brownhills West Station
  • This project includes the station area, yard and track up to Willow Vale Bridge and is the largest project for the S&T Dept.
    The signal box will utilise the 40 lever frame donated to us from Madeley to control 3 operational platforms, goods reception road and double to single track within staion limits, all with possible room for expansion at a later date.

  • Chasewater Heaths Station
  • This project includes the station area, yard and level crossing. The station will have 2 bi-directional through platforms, one bay and a limited goods yard.
    Hademore Crossing Box has been kindly donated to us by Network Rail from their TV4 project, and repainted by volunteers at the railway.

  • Chasetown Church Street Station
  • A limited frame has been provided at Chasetown, locked by the section token.

  • Telecommunications
  • Laying cable along the lineside, building and installing the locs and trackside telephone plug points.

  • Volunteer!
  • Most of the work currently is renovation and maintainance of installations, with some new works.

    If you'd like to come along and help, just send us an email for more information.
