The
signal
box
stands
just
to
the
north
of
Princes
Risborough
station
which
is
served
by
mainline
Chiltern
Railways
trains
as
well
as
the
Chinnor
&
Princes
Risborough
heritage
railway.
Frequent
mainline
trains
call
at
Princes
Risborough
from
Birmingham
(Snow
Hill),
Birmingham
(Moor
St),
Oxford, Banbury, Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Beaconsfield, Wembley and London (Marylebone).
The
partly
restored
signal
box
has
a
reduced
set
of
working
levers
which
control
the
points
and
signals
on
the
Chinnor
&
Princes
Risborough
heritage
steam
railway
to
the
rear
of
the
box
which
runs parallel to the Chiltern main lines at the front of the box. Further restoration work continues.
This
website
will
give
the
reader
an
insight
into
the
history
of
the
largest
remaining
Great
Western
design
signal
box
in
the
country,
from
its
construction
in
1904,
closure
in
1991
and
the
dereliction
that followed, and back to becoming a working signal box controlling the passage of steam trains.
