A major factor in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abermule_train_collision collision at Abermule in 1921] was that the tablet instruments which controlled the single line working were installed in the station building rather than the signal box, a practice condemned by the inspecting officer Colonel Pringle.<ref>Red for Danger, L.T.C. Rolt</ref> Despite this, the token instruments at Arley were installed in the station booking office, only being moved to the signal box by the SVR in preservation.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books | Marshall (1989), pp. 134-135.]]</ref>
Arley signal box closed under BR ownership on Sunday 28 June 1964. The Train Register recording the closure is was formerly on display in [[The Engine House]] at Highley.
