Bedlington South Signal Box is located north of Bedlington Viaduct, and controls the line to Bedlington North Signal Box. Though relatively short, it is a complex piece of track, with Furnaceway sidings, a level crossing and the former Bedlington Station within its area. The station complex also used to have a colliery junction. Bedlington Station was notable for having only one through platform, meaning that down trains had to cross onto the up line to stop at its platform. Currently working to Newsham South and Bedlington North Signal Boxes, it previously worked to Bebside Signal Box before it was closed.
