Burghclere station lighting

[colin penfold]

Hi all,

 

I am soon to start tracklaying and basic infrastructure on my Burghclere model and want to pre-wire the lighting

 

I have photos and diagrams showing the position of the platform gas lights in the 1930s. I also have a photo in 1951 which clearly shows the posts are still there but there are no lamp heads.

 

So, my question is, does anybody know when the gas lights were removed from DNS stations in general or Burghclere in particular?

 

Also, what arrangements were made to light the platform after removal? Photos would suggest nothing was done - presumably reliant on the illumination from the station building lights.

 

Thanks
