Watford junction bay platform starters.(2)

I can accept full responsibility for the installation of these signals, the building of the office block that currently stands above Watford Junction required the moving of the ends of the New Line bay platforms southwards. This resulted in the extension of platforms 1/2 and 3/4 at the south end and the replacement of the platform starters, the decision was taken to replace the searchlights with two aspect heads and the marker lights being only single reds required the use of 2 aspect heads with the bottom aspect blanked and the red lens placed in the upper position. The use of a single aspect signal head was not available to us in those days so the use of a modified 2 aspect head was the result. The signals were replaced like for like with a single post on 1/2 the head bracketed on both side of the post and separate posts on 3 & 4. The requirement was for all platforms to take 6 car DC units which also
accommodated a 7 car 1938 TS.
