Unhappy Signalbox at Enfield Lock station.

This photo shows the old signalbox at Enfield Lock station. Most of the stuff shown is now just a memory (see bottom photo)
Gone is the old signalbox where we would give the signalman a wave whilst on the Hertford East runs, gone is is the nice canopy and the footbridges. The old style crossing gates which were worked by the signalman turning a big wheel inside the signalbox have been replaced by modern remote controlled drop down gates which as we all know are an accident waiting to happen. Some things change for the worse. Loads of other things have gone including waiting rooms and toilets.

I can see this station from my back bedroom window.
