Thanks to our colleague Mike , we get a little historical perspective on railway telephony and the Strowger and GWR/Western Region omnibus circuits.
Filmed at the Kidderminster Railway Museum whose collection includes an ex BR strowger exchange plus a number of beautifully preserved telephone instruments, Mike takes us through their inner workings and some
Technical background from his many years of experience in the Railway telephone industry

nice to see some old Strowger there (in the thumbnail picture). Strowger was being phased out of BT when I joined in '88 as an apprentice. now in 2024 , we are phasing out the PSTN.so my job comes to an end. currently applying for Railway Signalling in ELY (cambs)

I know the feeling, luckily our colleague Mike ran me through a taster of how it all works which is the video you’ve got the thumbnail from, I never really got into that side of it being more the S side than the T side and yet we did have two STROWGER driven train describer setups with the relay sets rather than the selectors, those were at cheadle hulme and at romiley, the latter becoming spare parts after removal for some of the P.O type relays in our old STROWGER exchange up at Rowsley. Good luck with the job move.
