==Adderbury Signal Box==
As noted above, the original Arley Signal Box was demolished. The somewhat larger signal box from Adderbury, on the former GWR to Kingham branch, was donated to the SVR in early 1973 as a potential replacement<ref>SVR News 26</ref><ref>[http://www.arleystation.org.uk/ashistory2.html Arley Station website history page]</ref>. It was dismantled at Adderbury in April 1973, and transported to Arley where it was unloaded as a 'kit of parts'<ref>SVR News 28</ref>. However by the following year the process of installing the former Yorton box had begun.  Adderbury Signal box never left Arley Station. It arrived at Arley late one Sunday afternoon. It was carefuly stacked in the station yard adjacent to the original signal box base and close to the boundary. The stack consisted of wooden sectional panels and a roof. The fate roofing slates had been removed at Adderbury before transfer and were stacked close by.It remained there, untouched, until it was time to relay the sidings, when it was found to be in the way of the backroad. By then much of it had already been cannibalised for other SVR projects. The sad remains of Adderbury box is unknownSignal Box, by now starting to rot, were scrunched-up with the Drott and burned.
