Hi there!
While browsing websi[te about derelict buildings I came across a thread regarding a piece of disused line in Luton (which I imagine has been removed for the busway). I'm not quite sure whether this was part of the line to Dunstable, the Midland Main Line or both(?), nor do I know whether it's something like a siding or spur.
Here is a photo from that thread:

Can anyone tell me where signal WH461 was/is? I would have thought any section would have remained unused for a long time. I was quite surprised to see modern signage and signaling in this photo. I'm guessing this had something to do with it being easier to leave there when installing new signaling?
My other question is regarding this photo:
http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/l/luton_bute_street/luton(late1980s)bute_street15.jpg
When was this track finally removed? I can not remember it in my life time anyway so I am assuming it was soon after this photo was taken?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you
