St Albans South Signal Box was built in 1892 but was closed in 1980. It then became derelict but was restored from 2005 and was opened to the public in 2009. Tours include a chance to try the 44 levers. The volunteers are very knowledgeable and welcoming. The fast trains from St Pancras pass by the box and make it shake. The volunteers also maintain the garden. For more information on the signal box see the Trust's website at http://www.tlr.ltd.uk/sigbox/home.eb
