As night falls on 19.11.2005 the signals are in profile. At the end of Platform 2 semaphore signals now control departures towards Sheffield Park and the Ardingly spur, and on Platform 1 there is a semaphore provided for the Ardingly spur. (At the time the latter arm was fixed at danger and the signalman showed a green flag for departures from the bay, which can only run towards the spur). The top of the water tower and the pumping station chimney can just be seen behind the signal box.
Vintage Transport Weekends didn't just happen, and needed a large volunteer effort that continued both before and after the weekend in question. The railway will not easily re-create this largely unseen input, that was so vital to the success of the event. Respect to the late Dave Phillips, who latterly helped with the judging. 11.08.2013 7924
