In Signalmans Twilight, the second part of his trilogy, Adrian continues the story of his railway life in rural West Berkshire, moving from Uffington signal box to that at Challow early in 1962. The Western Region of British Railways was still, very much, Great Western Railway in spirit. The locomotives, men and equipment which served the merchants, farmers and shop keepers of the Vale of the White Horse with their fresh fish, coal, watercress, sugar beet, farm implements, horses and Lyons cakes were almost the same in 1962 as they had been in 1922. Any changes were such as fitted in perfectly with the older ways.
