I am in minor disputation with a friend, who says that fog repeaters are only to be found on 'outlying' parts of the system, and would not be found in cuttings. I say cuttings is where fog will often lay. What say you?
Russ
P.S. Nice to see you back, Q8.

Fog repeaters are usually found on all outside sections as far as I know!
There may be one or two exceptions, but if the cutting is outside then it would certainly have fog repeaters!
The only outside section I know of which hasn't got fog repeaters is the Canning Town to Stratford section of the Jubilee Line Extension, which is actually classed (in terms of people being on or about the track) as a tunnel section!!

Ah, thankyou. Alan. Is there a maintained list of 'tunnel sections' in respect of the subsurface lines? In particular, I am thinking of sections of line built substantially to the 'cut and cover' principle.

I say cuttings is where fog will often lay. What say you? I speak for the Metroploitan Line; everywhere north of Finchley Road has them, and north of Harrow on the Amersham & Watford roads certainly does have some nice cuttings and the like, so I wouldnt say they are only found on places of flat ground. |

I speak for the Metroploitan Line So staff on the Met still think they're seperate to everyone else then?!  ;D ;D ;D aetearlscourt is of course spot on about his patch - more so in the triangle sidings area. I actually passed through there today, and thought to myself there's a photo to had - of an undercover fog repeater. Sods law innit - I must get my camera out more often!! Oh well, i'm spare tomorow, so lets hope I click as I pass through there  |

Russ, information such as tunnel sections are recorded in the company asset location plans. The SSL network has about 130 brick tunnels. On the subject of track walking during traffic, areas are classed as line safe/line clear. Unless emergency procedures are in place line clear areas are off limits in traffic hours. These are long stretches of track with limited clearances and not many places of safety which would include tunnel sections. Ah, thankyou. Alan. Is there a maintained list of 'tunnel sections' in respect of the subsurface lines? In particular, I am thinking of sections of line built substantially to the 'cut and cover' principle. Russ |

Looking at Harsig's CromwellRoad1957 diagram, there are a number of fog repeaters in the area: FREC203; FREC210/211; FREC70 A; FREC50L; FREC51; FREC67 A, FREC67 B; FREC70 B. Russ |

Triangle Sidings only became covered when the West London Air Terminal was built, the fog repeaters in this area were installed before the area was rafted over.
