I'm currently working on a set of diagrams which will show the various stages of the four tracking scheme. And here they are |

Really? I wasn't sure you see. I guess trains on the fast line that wished to go to Uxbridge crossed onto platform 1. When that spur was removed the said crossover must have been installed?

I guess the Z numbers at Northwood are locks of some form for the Yard points, the relief signalmans sketch I've got from the '40s doesn't have them, E3 is slotted (by I guess Ground Frame 'F' [Neals Siding], where the A2 of the '60s is F2). Do you think that the Z locks were installed sometime after 1950?

Do you think that the Z locks were installed sometime after 1950? Z just generally indicates a hand worked point. Sometimes they are numbered and sometimes not. Some are equipped with switch locks to lock them in the normal position although I suspect that this did not apply to any of them prior to this re-signalling of 1961/62. From something I was reading the other day I seem to recall that Ground Frame F was taken out of use in 1953. It is almost certain that signal F2 became A2 and the original A2 became JBX881. Certainly a 1925 sketch I have of the signalling between Rickmansworth & North Harrow shows E3 as slotted and the signal in the position later occupied by JBX881 numbered as S2. |

Hmmm, there was a temp signal frame controlled (from Harrow?I think) for the siding. This was all ripped out in 1962! The temporary frame was a temporary box which worked the local to main junction and connections to the temporary siding. Untill a later stage of the widening. |
