    Stations justifying an additional platform if space permitted

    Stonebridge Park and Harrow and Wealdstone could do with one on the down DC, so that in the event of late running on the LUL, through trains aren’t held up while the terminators are tipping out. Even better if an extra crossover south of SBP could be installed to allow an LUL to turn back south...

    Dangerous boarding procedures at Euston

    Euston is quite unusual in that its ‘slow line’ platforms are between the ‘fast line’ platforms. Not easily solved either as the layout between Camden and Euston is optimised for that. All that said, the Euston layout is extremely restricted compared to Paddington to Ladbroke Grove for instance.

    A career as a signaller

    I’m a relief, albeit at a single box. I tend to get more days than nights. The days are so much busier that the residents prefer to take those off.

    Berkhampstead

    I messaged LNR a few weeks about it. They‘re aware of the issue and working on a fix. May just as well put Berko on there……

    Poor regulation decisions at Rugby?

    Won't comment on Ledburn Junction regulation, but the reason 1M10 and a few other preceding it went Slow Line is that the OHL was being checked on the Fast Lines in the Kensal Green area. The Line Block was given up in time for 1Y38 to run Fast Line towards Euston but not before it had been...

    Signal upgrade set to modernise Cornwall’s railway

    Greenford, a TCB lever frame fringed with IECCs all round. Marylebone and TVSC. Latterly a small IECC was placed in the box to control the Park Royal area when the line was severed at OOC.

    Chiltern Class 165/168 compatibility

    I don’t know, I’m pretty sure there will be plenty of TOCs with new trains that aren’t compatible with existing fleets. I wouldn’t have thought the 730s and 350s with LNR are compatible.

    Poor regulation decisions at Rugby?

    Platforms 1-7, 12-16 all take 11 car 390s, indeed some take an 11 car and 5 car voyager. Platforms 8 & 11 can take a 9 car 390 although we don’t generally do that. During 805/7 testing I had a 7 car in Pfm 11 and 5 car in Pfm 10 Just because I could There is no ARS at all from Apsley to Euston...
