Watford DC/Bakerloo shared stations platform diagram maps

[A60stock]

Does anyone have any pictures, or links to pictures which show the in station diagram maps which were on the platforms of stations between Harrow and Queens Park PRIOR to the Overground takeover in 2007?

Cheers

I will have a look for route diagrams...

Regarding specific platform diagrams, your question was asked in one form or another in FOI's:
www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/platform_line_diagrams
tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-2876-1920
www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/zone_1_station_maps#incoming-562775

Basically, they don't exist in bulk to the public. Your best bet will be searching photos for each station around that particular era.

There is a line closure information poster here in the LU signs zip download, (but for overground):

Looking at very detailed technical drawings of each station requires a specific reason, e.g. academic research:

But 3D sketches of every station exist:

As I remember my home station, Bushey there were no track plate type diagrams just a timetable posted and perhaps an Underground or NSE map on the platform.   The line was never hot on customer care!

Alas I never looked for or photo'd these. Not even the electronic 'next train' describers.

After reading your responses and looking online, I genuinely don't think BR/Silverlink/National Rail kept platform diagram maps, even as recent as 2007.

If they did, I just realised they wouldn't look like the TFL style ones you see today.

Over the years some timetable posters did include a simple route diagram.

In the first Overground incarnation TfL did pay for some signage on stations that had frequent services in the London area. This work did include small route diagrams.

This was before they took over the actual running of services.

I should also clarify that i specifically mean the platform diagrams referring the to route you are on e.g. the northbound/southbound ones which are specific to each platform, not the general London connection maps etc.

I must admit I don’t recall the type of platform diagram you refer to prior to London Overground taking over. I remember the timetables on the platform had the stations on but these were not well laid out. It’s a bit like regional buses compared with London Buses! You’re lucky if you know when and which bus is going to turn up and where it’s going!
