Summary

| Description |
British Railways York Works 4-BIG class 422/1 750V DC 3rd rail four car electric multiple unit number 2106 and British Railways York Works 4-CIG class 421/2 750V DC 3rd rail four car electric multiple unit number 7378 of Brighton T&RSMD depart from Worthing station on the Down Main line. Thursday 14th May 1987 Worthing West signal box was located by the Down Main line alongside South Farm Road level crossing, and was a Saxby and Farmer Type 5 design which was opened in 1877 by the London Brighton and South Coast Railway fitted with a 19 lever Saxby and Farmer 1874 Patent Rocker and Gridrion frame. The lever frame's original rocker locking was replaced by tappet locking in 1903 and the signal box was renamed Worthing Central "B" on 5th July 1936. The lever frame was extended to 22 levers (numbered A-B, 1-20), possibly late in 1937. The signal box was renamed Worthing "B" on 4th March 1968 and was further renamed Worthing on 30th December 1973 when control of Worthing station passed to the signal box after the closure of Worthing "A" signal box. Closure came on 4th June 1988 when signalling between East Worthing and Durrington-on-Sea passed to the new signalling panel in Lancing signal box, the level crossing being controlled by closed circuit television from Lancing signal box The two doll left hand bracket carried Worthing signal box (left to right) 4 signal (up main home to up passenger loop) with B signal (up passenger loop calling on) below it, and 3 signal (up main home) with A signal (up main calling on) below it. When installed on 5th September 1937 the bracket signal only carried 3 and 4 signal with Worthing Central "A" signal box's distant signals below them. Calling on arm signals A and B were fitted on 28th November 1937 but were not commissioned until 3rd July 1938, and Worthing "A" signal box's distant signals were removed the the signal box closed on 30th December 1973 |
