We used to wait for the "double pegs" to go up. The home and the distant, to know when an express was coming. We used to call them "clangers". Still no idea why 50 years later.
The only time I can recall a bell on the station ringing was when a stopping train was coming. I suppose that was to notify the passengers in the waiting room and the porters, who used to appear out of the woodwork.
Ahh, happy days!
Paul.
