During the time that the Metropolitan Railway was mixed gauge (and this question also applies to the GWR in mixed gauge days), would there have been bell codes between signal boxes which differentiated between broad and standard gauge trains?

A very good question. I suspect that the trains would be described by destination not gauge. That's the case in the 1912 Met & GW Lock & Block Regs before me.

Thanks for that, mrfs42. It occurred to me that they might have been bell coded differently to prevent, for instance, a broad gauge train being switched to a narrow gauge turn out. But as you say, destination works just as well.

Pleased to say the restoration of BEA coach MLL738 is as complete as it can be, now restoring MLL721

Maybe they used fat bells and thin bells??
They wouldn't be in the 1912 Lock and Block regs as broad gauge had long since gone by then.
