This must have been one of the last Type K0 signal boxes constructed new. The nameboard was one of several examples of GWR nameboard that only showed the name of the location and no other designation. RT Taaffe

Later the nameboard was removed from the signal box. In this photograph the extension to the rear of the signal box and Station's Office that formed a parcels office can be observed. ARHS

By 1982 the signal box had been extended at the Sydney end to form the Station Master's office and another room for an unknown purpose. Unusually for a signal box on a platform a signal box name board had been added under the window. This was doubly unusual for a name board to be added to a signal box after it had been constructed. The station had been renamed Grafton City six years previously. RT Taaffe
