I noticed a while ago that the station car park behind the northbound platform at Chorleywood looks as if it was built on a disused trackbed. The northern end of the northbound platform looks like it could conceivably have been an island at some point, and there is a seemingly pointless arch at the southern end of the car park carrying cables over... well, nothing so far as I can see. South of the station there also appears to be a large gap next to the running lines. Having said all that, my question is: were there ever more than 2 platforms at Chorleywood?  |

If Chorleywood had have been rebuilt because of the Mets new works, the fast lines would have been inbetween the outer platform lines. EDIT: I meant Chorleywood  |

The London Railway Record published some track diagrams planned pre-WWII which would have given Chorleywood four tracks, allowing non-stopping service to overtake local services.

I am sure that I have seen a photo showing a train bypassing Chorleywood. Unfortunately I am in the process of moving my books onto new shelving and the volume that I am thinking of isn't in an accessible location at the moment.
