C = Putney Bridge? there is only a very few of these heads left known as coffee pots and I have to say are very hard to relamp without getting a nice jolt of 100v

Nope, sorry. While you are in the right quadrant of the map, this isn't near Northfields.

B is Richmond, but I described it rather less succinctly as "west side of station immediately south of bridge over north end of platform"

That signal head at C. I've never seen one like it, at least not 'outside'. It's of a similar design to the type seen above tube platforms, but seemingly heavier, and, is it standing on a lamp iron?
I must visit it on my next trip to Town. I'm going to get my 'Driver's Eye' views out tonight. Shall I start with Piccadilly?

It is on a "tube" line, but an outside station. However it's not on the Picadilly.

The canopy in the background could be GWR, so I'm going to start with the Ealing Extension.

Is that because of the rolling-stock disagreement of 1864? I rather think we should have come to terms with that by now.

I worked that out with much pausing & rewinding on Tuesday night. I can't find it on the Bakerloo extension, either, so tonight's entertainment is a Driver's View of the Hampstead.

The canopy on C looks like those at East Ham, Upton Park and Plaistow. Of those East Ham has a crossover and Plaistow a bay. As I grew up there I must plump for East Ham.
