Clink Road Junction and Signal Box, 1984
Image: © Nigel Thompson Taken: 15 Mar 1984
Taken from a train crossing over to take the line to Frome, diverging right. The 'box is long since gone as the junction is controlled remotely, but the sloping path and handrail on the right can still be seen. Interestingly, the 114½ milepost seen outside the 'box is not measured by the direct route from London, but the original route via Swindon and Melksham. The actual mileage from London via the later, more direct route via Newbury, is about 15 miles shorter.
