There seems to be a long-standing anomoly regarding the LMS signalling between Campbell Rd Jn and Upminster. From Campbell Rd to a point beyond Barking, the signalling used was NOT the type used on the Watford New Lines. This was straight two-aspect signalling in standard two-lamp signal heads (manufactured by SGE) with LT fog repeaters provided. This was completed in 1932. The signalling from beyond Barking to Upminster was of the Watford-type, provided between 1932-33 when the extra District tracks were completed. This whole section of line was resignalled to its current state in 1959-60.

I find this to be quite interesting, as almost every piece of literature I have come across states that the LMS signalling applied between Campbell Rd. Junction and Upminster, and not only between Barking and Upminster. I suppose I have either misread it, or it was wrong.

As far as I know the Slow Line Signals ( they were used by Steam trains as well) were supervised, possibly only when required, by the parallel Absolute Block signal boxes until modernisation and overhead electrification of the Main Line in the 1960s.
The new Local Lines East of Barking were automatically signalled in the LMS style about the time of the resignalling with Autos of the Camden to Watford New Lines.
