Are there any panels being re-controlled to the Three bridges ROC over Christmas? Panel 1 - Charing Cross?
There is an overview of the panels at : London Bridge Signal Box
There a quick tour of the old London Bridge Station Announcement Tower and the panel on Kent Rail. http://www.kentrail.org.uk/London_Bridge_Announcement_Tower.htm . Due for demolition next year.
Will make the zone map look even more odd, but then the current one has the Shenfield line with zone 7 & 8 marked on it with no stations. And with Dartford the TFL bus validity goes all the way out to Bluewater.
The sooner it goes over to TFL the better.:D
It looks like it may be more than one diagram affected so maybe it's a dispatch issue at Blackfriars?
On previous blockade weekends the Sidcup line was New cross Sat/Mon, and Victoria on Sunday. I assume there is just not the capacity at Victoria with the other diversions, other than on a...
And the complexities of a construction project fixed around the points the year when the work can be blitzed, and those SE blockades yet to be. Any info on the plans for the work during the Aug BH shutdown?
And I'm looking forward to the British Transport Films - Operation London Bridge MK...

A few years ago I was on the southbound Highland Chieftain from Inverness to Kings Cross (8H 40Min) , and after awhile it came apparent it had not been serviced fully overnight as water started running out one by one. After awhile they gave up locking them out of service, the rest well...

This is a nice map, from 1868 to 1873, as it shows the individual lines and junctions, this was before the 4 line was added. 3 into Cannon St from both directions, and 2 across the Market.

As above, from what I've seen the station staff are always willing to help and Lewisham & Dartford are fully staffed stations.
At my local station the gateline person opens the gates and goes off to assist a regular morning commuter during the peak, I also get the impression they like the...
