Station enlargement at Myrtle Street

The increase in traffic on the EALR has necessitated an expansion programme affecting both track and buildings at Myrtle Street Station. The preservation group have just renovated the old signal box and brought it back into full service and a temporary building has been pressed into use as the loco shed for the station pilot. New trackwork allows more services to use the station and further works should be starting soon to build a new cattle dock for the moorland farmers who use the station to move stock down to the quay.
