 Salisbury to Exeter Signal Boxes (Page 2)
CREWKERNE signal-box was closed on 26-Feb-1967 but the station remains open for passenger traffic, using the former Up platform.
A problem arose subsequently in that the platform at Crewkerne lay within the striking distance of the AHB track-circuits, which meant that Down trains stopping at the station held the barriers down for a long period.
Accordingly on 27-July-1970 a colour-light stop signal facing Down trains was brought into use situated just beyond the Exeter end of Crewkerne platform, with a 'distant' repeater approximately 1400 yards in its rear, the signals being controlled from Chard Junction signal-box.
