Hi all!
I was simply wondering if anyone could provide me with a description of how Brayford crossing was operated prior to its conversion to a CCTV crossing? I am aware that the crossing itself was operated from a six-lever ground frame released from East Holmes, but it also appears that this ground frame slotted several of East Holmes' signals in order to protect the crossing when the box was switched out. The confusion for me arrises when the box is switched in; would the crossing keeper at Brayford still operate the signal slots as normal, or was there some special locking employed so that the crossing keeper did not need to work the slots when the box was switched in?
Any information is appreciated as always!
