Winning Signal Box protects a boom gate level crossing and junction, and controls traffic to and from Cambois, Ashington and Bedlington. Nowadays this is mainly composed of Alcan traffic, with occasional coal traffic to Battleship Wharf, but previously it also included trains serving Blyth Power Station.
August 2011
The original wooden boom gates have been removed and replaced by full barriers with road lights, as well as a pedestrian light facing the path that runs south into the industrial estate.
