One could be forgiven for thinking the Rhymney Railway regarded signalling as a necessary evil as there is little evidence of any effort being made to provide proper signalling until it was forced to do so by the 1889 Regulation of Railways Act. Even then, boxes seemed to be built as small as possible with few levers controlling minimal signalling.
The Rhymney was absorbed into the Great Western Railway with the 1923 railway grouping.
