Leyburn looking W with the SB, formerly Leyburn East, until closure of the West box in 1941. The long passing loop was still in use at this date (July 83). By this time however, the traffic had dwindled to less than one train a week and Leyburn box closed for good on 11th December 1983. The layout was completely rationalised leaving just the basic single running line. (--/07/1983)
