In thw few timetable books I own from the 40s, 50s and early 60a, some of the fast trains on the South West main line stopped at Surbtion, if I remeber correctly but definitely none were showing as stopping at Clapham Junction.
At what point did fast trains stop more at Clapham Junction?
Obviously given platforms 7 and 8 are very old, they must have stopped there at some point in the long distant past before not doing so. Is that right?
Another thing. In an old Southern Railway permanent speed restrictions booklet from 1st October 1945, for West London Line scissor crossings they refer to platforms 11 and 12. However in the 20th July 1950, British Railways Supplement number 2 leaflet, they are now numbered 16 and 17.
Did a renumbering take place at Clapham Junction in c1950 or was it something else?
