Hi everyone
What sidings/crossovers have recently been commissioned and what have been decommissioned?
I've looked far and wide but I only have found a few things.
Thanks

How far back are you thinking?

How far back are you thinking? 4 or so years. I'm doing a project but can't seem to find much. |

Nothing decommissioned in 2017 or 2018 from memory; 2015/16 were both busier years.
In 2017 two trailing point ends at Rayners Lane converted to power operation - can't remember the point numbers off hand I'm afraid.
2019: Farringdon No. 36 crossover, Royal Oak hand worked crossover both decommissioned and plain lined.
2020: Aldgate East No. 43 crossover decommissioned and plain lined.
2021: Northfields Double slip converted to scissors crossover (but still functions as a double slip).

At Earl's Court District, the diamond crossover on the eastbound was reinstalled Christmas 2016, but that's too long ago.

Indeed so, and at the same time the crossover at East Putney was also plain lined. In the same year, the spring trailing point at Acton Town, from the EB Fast to the EB Ealing was powered, and later on No. 8 crossover at Putney Bridge was removed, then so were the points to and from Mansion House bay platform. |
