The view south from Craven Arms Crossing
The point on the right leads to two sidings (more in the past) which are now, inevitably, little used. The footbridge at Craven Arms station is visible in the distance.

Craven Arms Long Lane Crossing signal box
The previous box here (not the original) was built in the 1930s and was of wooden construction. In 2000 the box was enlarged and clad as shown here, the wooden structure then being removed.

Craven Arms Crossing signal box
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!
