This is now the only signal box at Craven Arms, there previously having been boxes at the north and south ends of the station, and a small one controlling this level crossing on the near side of the track. With the simplification of track layout, particularly the junction for the Heart of Wales line, signalling was concentrated in this new box adjacent to the level crossing so that this could still be effectively monitored. It can hardly be considered an attractive design!
