Don't know whether this sits here or under 'stations' (or somewhere else), so please move if necessary. When the LT layout at Leytonstone was fully commissioned, there was a goods siding next to the westbound platform 1 at Leytonstone. Access to the siding was by a ground frame which was released by No.33 lever in Leytonstone cabin. See Harsig's diagram at - www.harsig.org/PDF/CentralLineEasternExtensions.pdfThere was also a goods yard on the eastbound side, west of the station, which closed 2/10/55. A station car park opened at Leytonstone before that good yard was closed (on 17/7/55) on the site of the goods siding next to platform 1 mentioned above. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a date when that goods siding was decommissioned. It must have been some time before 17/7/55). Can anyone help, please?

Isn't that the loco siding - went fairly soon after one of the later extensions? *tippety tap* (looks through directories) EDIT: It's the one shewn in YP 47.17 for the Extension to Leytonstone as the 'Yard Siding' isn't it? EDIT the second: (returns from digging out YP box upstairs) it is still in YP 47.49 when the extensions opened to Woodford and Newbury Park, which means you probably don't need to search through the 'changeover' YPs prior to the extension opening. EDIT the third: It is still there in YP 49.31 (The peculiar one that repeats the existing signalling arrangements for Leyton - Leytonstone.) I've only ever seen that done one other time with a reissue of the arrangements for Wood Green in early 70s. So, still there in August 1949.
