The quiz now includes everything listed in this thread so isn't just Underground places. Today is a two part question, part one here, and the second part will be posted a little later.  *Click for larger version* |

I shall venture a guess that the signal post on the left carries the new JJ71B signal and that we are looking at the old No 53 points now taken out of use.

Gosh I haven't been up there since I commissioned the PA in the area almost 20 years ago now, if I am not mistaken the trackside Telephone cable kiosk on the left in the distance is a dead give away for it is directly opposite a substation which is hard to find by road when unfamiliar with the area!
Yes I know where this is but I won't give it away!

Northbound local road, approaching the old points on Watford South Junction, with the route secured up(with a far too short scotch) for Northbound working to Croxley.

Speaking as someone who has secured/unsecured these points on many occasions, i would be reluctant to remove the scotch unless i had something to knock it out with. I wouldn't want my hand trapped in there! |

I think that coach screw stuck into the timber next to the 3rd slide chair would help.  |

IIRC Tom sent me three photos of the junction, one of which is above. I was planning to use them in future quizzes, but if people would prefer me to post them let me know.
