I like with the lunch being brought over to you on a Sunday. I’m sure it’s so easy for that person stuck away in the signal box on their own to be forgotten by the rest of the team

Great little film. This would suit my husband down to the ground and there are a couple of positions available at the moment. But I worry about the long term if signal boxes are getting closed! Being in Cornwall I can’t imagine an alternative role could be offered. I bet it gets blooming cold in there?????

Why isn't this automated? He's said 95pc of his job is drinking or preparing tea

I remember the stall down Walthamstow Market ! Great shop, will pay a visit , I need a few more Silver Surfers and he's bound to have them 😁 Sadly too many shops have gone in recent years

Great to see that Gary is still around and doing well, haven’t been in quite some time but I definitely do intend on visiting the store soon! I have a few comics I want to collect! I remember back when I was in school, I had to write a detailed report on a local business and this was the one I wrote about. Really enjoyed doing it and I’ve had a soft spot for Krypton Komics ever since.

I'm so happy he's still there. I stopped collecting for a while but i'm back reading now. I'll have to go there again soon. I have Tales of the Wonderkind aswell lol

Maya is trying to get publicity and a name for herself , she’s a sicko like the vile death row inmates that committed vile crimes.

Shamima can go live in Saudi Arabia , there’s loads of land for immigrants to live , she’s preaching about be a strict muslim then go there where u can be your true self , she’s manipulating everyone to feel sorry for her,I don’t , I feel sad for victims, NOT SHAMIMA

Fantastic video signalling is very interesting sorry to learn that your signal box closed that was featured in video did network rail relocate you are you still in signalling in 2024

I'm 43, am I too old to get into this?

As much as this looks like such a rewarding job, wow it looks like such a stressful job given how easily things could go wrong.

I just passed my IST course can't wait to get started.

Fantastic, such a cool job 👍

This was really fascinating. Didn't realize that signal boxes still exist. Also loved the ghost story he shared. I wonder how often does he get people telling him about the Charles Dickens short story, The Signalman?

With that amount of tea a day, I strongly suggest replacing that plastic kettle with a stainless steel one :)

Defending Shamima Begum, who travelled to Syria of her own volition, to join a terrorist group that beheaded many of its victims, is hardly what I call justice. What about the human rights of all the victims of ISIS? Shamima Begum wants the justice that they were denied.

I have an interview for a signaller grade 7 role tomorrow. Thanks for your honest insight into the role, if I'm lucky by the look of it, this could be a great career change for me!

Socks? My man, upgrade to a pair of box slippers

Brought back memories of my time as a signalman in the 1960/70s. Started at Crystal palace, then onto Leigham Junction , Hayes (Kent) ending at Twickenham West Junction box.........scariest was a short stint at Star Lane on the Brighton line just south of Coulsdon. It was situated in a deep cutting, well away from anyone. There was a mental institution close by, and often some of the inmates would get out and try to get into the signal box.......lots of fatalities in the area due to them committing suicide........ Glad to get out of there!

Not great pulling the levers in your socks! 😂😂

Cheers Chris, very well presented short film. Christopher also has a very engaging way of speaking. Overall great video.

Very good point about the mid nineties privatisation, I was working on Woking pway and the sense of dis jointed control , loss of ownership , personal pride in the patch was destroyed in a moment . I had to move on , shame . If there'd been more collaboration rather than political shuffling it may have been different . Great interview . Signallers are the safety valve . 👍🇬🇧

I thought your video was excellent thank you for making it. I was lucky enough in the 1980's to be invited to go into a Signal Box and see how it all worked and when there were no trains about having a go at pulling the levers. It was a rural isolated box with 64 levers in the frame, to this day I remember to cross 4 trains at this Single Line Junction Box it took 90 moves on the frame to do this, you were pulling or putting back levers for about 19 minutes. That experience led me to become one of only a handful of qualified Movements Inspectors on a Narrow Gauge Railway following a six hour examination by the railway Inspectorate. I still think real signalling can only be done in a mechanical Signal Box but whatever type of Signal Box you are in I hope you have a long and happy career signalling.

Great video, thanks for sharing your insights. I am going for a Trainee Signaller role and have my interview this week. Wish me luck!

great!!

Met these guys at Blackpool. Great advice. Be you when you perform.

This is glorious.

Fascinating.

The trains in those lines are in safe hands!

Fantastic video!! Well done to everyone involved :)

Another great film Chris ! Emma is v inspiring.

A true artist, in a world where artist's - unless they are celebrities - are given no credibility. It was wonderful to hear a real creative discuss the joy and inspiration that drives him to paint. I only hope that his outstanding work wil finally receive the level of recognition it deserves.

Engaging film. Nick is a great artist and it was interesting to learn more about his background and fascinating to hear his innermost thoughts on his art.

very interesting. Gives me an insight into my cousin's art world.

Terrific film! Wonderful artist 👏👏

Love Emma's twitter/articles and newsletter which is how I found this video ❤

Let me say this, if an execution results in death, how is it botched? The continued failure to take into consideration EXACTLY the horrors the victims of these heinous crimes encounter when showing mercy on perpetrators is what is really botched about the drawn out judicial system. Execution is the closest thing humans can get to justice when a life is heinously stolen by another human being. It isn't like victims get another chance at life. Do they? Do advocates for abolishing of the death penalty know that? Can they prove it. America's favorite theatrical prop known as the Bible does not prove that. We do the best we can and the best is not trying to fix what can't be fixed but it isn't giving or maintaining the gift of life we all want for a convicted/condemned murderer. Be it in prison or anywhere else.

Very insightful 👏👏👏

This is fantastic!

"That person has never done taxes." 😆

Jack gilbert was a poetical genius. You've done well.

I love this advert

Have not read any of her work. I will now

Love it. Splendid, splendid! 😀
