In January 1993 aged forty, the author attended his first signalling induction course in Leeds. As part of his training he was allocated to Kildwick to work alongside more experiened signalmen. In March of the same year he worked at Kildwick signal box by himself. Following the Kildwick box demolition, Paul worked at Cononley before being transfered to Hebden Bridge, where he remained for over twenty years.
