Track at Romsey Signal Box
The site has working mechanical and colour light signals, a ground frame and a short length of track with a set of points. This enables the Friends of Romsey Signal Box to demonstrate most of the features of mechanical railway signalling. The box is open to the public on the first Sunday of each month, for special events during the year, and at other times by special arrangement.

Romsey Signal Box
The Romsey Signal Box Project was established in 1987. Suitable equipment to fit out the signal box was largely obtained following the resignalling of the Weymouth area. The work was completed, and the box restored to operation on 17th October 1992, the tenth anniversary of its closure. Work has continued since then to make the signal box area attractive and usable.

Romsey Signal Box
Romsey signal box was closed by BR in October 1982. BR planned to demolish the building, but the Romsey and District Buildings Preservation Trust agreed to purchase the box for £10 and fund the £1,000 removal costs. In June 1983, the wooden first floor, weighing about a ton and the 23-lever frame, weighing over three tons, were lifted across the tracks to a temporary position on the other side of the embankment. A new brick-built ground floor was constructed on a piece of land bought from Hampshire County Council, and in April 1987, the signal box was reassembled.
