Having posted an external view of a signalbox in my last quiz, I thought we'd try a picture taken inside a (different) signalbox. So, once again, the question is Where is it? I think this is actually quite an easy one but just in case you are struggling I've left the photo's caption on the bottom ;D  |

Finchley Road, or Harrow on the Hill?

Bits of it remind me of Harrow on the Hill, but on the other hand bits of it don't. I'll go for that or Wembley Park

That's quite an odd platform layout - four tracks, but instead of 2 island platforms there is one island and two side platforms. Therefore not Finchley Road or Harrow on the Hill (unless they've been radically altered since).
Can't think where it is though.

ADW mentions Harrow - Harrow had four platforms faces as in the picture until 1948 when they converted the three platforms to Islands.

Funnily enough, nobody has yet mentioned the two stations between Finchley Road and Harrow which still to this day have platforms arranged as shown in the diagram. |

It depends whether the crossings shown are flat or are meant to show diveunders. If not, it could well be Neasden with the top line being the road to the depot

It's Willesden Green, during the days of the four-tracking to Wembley Park. The flat junctions on both sides of the station remind me that the original pairing of the four-tracking was by speed.

Two posts so far have mentioned the correct answer. However no one who has made a definitive statement as to where they think it is has been right so far and all the others have mentioned multiple possibilities so I shall let the guessing continue for a while longer.

Finally, a single option that is also the right answer.  |

The picture shows the layout before the 1924 Exhibition when two additional Bay Platforms were built South of the road bridge. Note the 2-Position Upper Quadrant signals.
