While I was out walking the dog i found this old sign in the bushes, after giving it a wipe (it was covered in moss and mud) I saw it was an old railway sign, it was on some old land next to Beighton signal box, when i was a kid this land was a truck stop where lorry drivers would park up for the night but before this I believe the land was something to do with the old Beighton Station and crane maintenance depot that was behind it, I don't think the sign is from Beighton Station because that was demolished a very long time ago but Woodhouse Station is not too far away from here so it may be from there, the sign appears to be made from Bakelite but i may be wrong but it's not a new light plastic one, I have never heard of TUCC's before. If anyone could shed any light as to when and where it might be from I would be grateful.

Thanks

David

edit, I apologise for the picture quality, my xperia has died on me so had to use an old nokia

Look them up, there were several covering the Great Britain. They were particularly fashionable when decisions to close lines and stations were current and needed public input - albeit from MoT appointed bodies and latterly to comment upon BR. The work appears now to be done by Passenger Focus and possibly other groups brought together by TOCs.
