Allerton & Speke

For this video we visit Merseyside and call in at Allerton Junction and Speke Junction Signal Boxes.

The geographic locations of the signal boxes can be seen on a current OS Map: Allerton Junction and Speke Junction. The map will place the location at the centre of the map panel, roll the mouse over the icon(s) to reveal what they represent. Increase the scale using the scale selector on the left to separate closely positioned icons.

This video is intended for viewing at a maximum screen resolution of 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. Please be aware that viewing at a larger size may result in a loss of clarity and a 'grainy' appearance.
