Billingsley Colliery closed in 1921, although use of the line by a nearby land-sale wharf continued. Kinlet Colliery closed in 1937 when production moved to Alveley, following which both colliery lines were removed at some time before 1941. The Highley Mining Company established a wagon repair works at the location, so when the signal box was closed in March 1943, it was replaced by two ground frames, once again referred to as Kinlet Sidings North ground frame and Kinlet Sidings South ground frame. These were locked by the electric train token for the [[Arley]]-[[Highley]] section. There was also an intermediate token machine provided in a cabin in the middle of the loop.<ref name = “Marshall97” /> Working Time Tables from 1948, 1949 and 1960 refer to these arrangements.
