FIDDLERS FERRY SIGNAL BOX
Picture

Located on the Ditton Junction to Latchford (Arpley) line, Fiddlers Ferry Signal Box nowadays only see's occasional traffic as the Power Station offically closed on 31 March 2020 with the last coal trains served the Power Station in October 2019. Currently, the Power Station has got 15 years worth of Fly Ash on site at the time of writing but whether any of this gets used and departs by train, remains to be seen. The Power Station will remain visible / intact for at least until 2022 while the internal fittings are being dismantled.  

The only traffic using the line is the 'Aluminium train' (6M03 / 6O16) along with 6F42 (TWO-Q) and 6F49 (TWO-Q) 'Wagons to repair' train.  The trains in italics are just prevously booked paths no longer used but still in WTT.

Sadly with demise of most freight traffic, there are now only a less than handful of locations were photography is possible were the most popular location being Slutchers Lane Bridge near to Warrington Bank Quay Station, due to ease of access.
