    The up distant signal originally stood here to the right of shot and was pulled from Corfe signalbox.
    In 2017 the up distant was moved closer to the station and is seen here with D7535 passing hard at work.
    The loco displays headcode 1M66, on 5/4/2006 I was at Vigo Crossing on the Lickey Incline and a train passed with this headcode, it was the 1245 Cardiff Central to Nottingham. Sadly this is not the same working but is actually 1R06 1139 from the River Frome to Swanage.
