Wickham Green too Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 ........ which reminds me - I believe the 'new' 'box at Alston ( p.27 ) came from Ainderby and the 'box at Beamish ( p.15, labelled 'Rowley' for the reconstructed station ) came from Carr House East.

Trains were running, but it was snowing that day! You can see the snow through the window. Intersting to see how Alresford box has changed in the last 25 years! I didn't realise that the frame had grown - I only count 17 levers there, and there's 18 now. See my photo from last year here - even that's now historical, as the country end is being remodelled at the moment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted March 8, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) A few scanned in the last few days, taken from a railtour back in February 1989. Windsor bridge box next to Salford crescent station. This derelict one is between Salford crescent and Blackburn but I didnt make a note of its actual location. Any help with its name much appreciated. EDIT - Agecroft Junction Daisyfield Junction, Blackburn. Edited March 8, 2021 by roundhouse 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Chris116 Posted March 8, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 8, 2021 The section of the District Line from Wimbledon to the north end of Putney Bridge but not Putney Bridge station was built by the LSWR as they planned to build a terminus around the High Street Kensington area. The plan got far enough to add a third platform at Putney Bridge but was cancelled before the planned fourth platform was added. The LSWR thus built a bridge across the Thames and never ran a train over it! The section between East Putney and Wimbledon was therefore National Rail (and predecessors). The stations were changed to being LT (LUL/TfL) in the 1990's but at the time the signal boxes were taken out of use it was all owned by British Railways. The only National Rail trains that use the line now are ECS for the South Western franchise, whatever it is being called this week plus a few very early morning and late evening passenger trains that do not stop at East Putney, Southfields or Wimbledon Park. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hodgson Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The station was only ever intended to be a minor wayside halt, but it became a terminus and the box became rather busier after the Britannia Bridge fire, passengers for the mainland having to transfer by bus over Telford's road bridge.
