scope:

This document applies to all signal boxes, listed and non-listed redundant signal boxes in both conservation areas, and non-conservation areas. Asbestos may well be present in signal boxes and if that is the case Network Rail's standard on Asbestos Management NR/L2/CIV/168 should be followed. This document also does not cover or replace other Network Rail Environmental policies nor does this document cover Legislative Environmental requirements.

Purpose

The objective of this document is to set the parameters for the demolition or retention of non-operational signal boxes, and to provide guidance on how a retained non-operational box can be used in other ways.
