Visited in July & Oct 2024. 3 of the 7 Mk1 #KX100 kiosks at Crewe Station (there's also a lonely mk2) all in well kept 1991 Wolff Olins Pan era BT livery. Crewe Station is gr.II listed, so the KX are technically protected by that designation. @c20society.bsky.social @englishheritage.bsky.social

Migrating my KX posts over from the decaying birdsite.

In April 2024, in praise of BT's disappearing KX phone boxes, I visited Chester Station to see the pair of KX200. However, on the way found this rare flat roof, multipanel back Mk.1 #KX100. @c20society.bsky.social @englishheritage.bsky.social
