I have been lucky enough to be invited inside a couple of signal boxes and very interesting it was too. The signalmen were breaking the "rules" and would no doubt have been reprimanded if "they" had got to know what they were doing. I guess they had enough knowledge of human nature to see that I was a genuine enthusiast, that I would probably not be seen entering/leaving the box and (most importantly) that I would be discreet enough not to betray their confidence, which is why I would never reveal their location. However, I hope you may find a signalman who is equally helpful and obliging.
