I think it looks like Tower Hill, but not totally sure.  |

I was thinking maybe Hatton Cross - W/B platform repeater?

Does look very "Heathrow extension." Don't think it's Tower Hill or Cannon Street though - the repeater has a direction indicator, so indicates a choice of route.

Yeah its got to be Hatton X W/B! The mini route indicator dosnt fit for any where else on the branch! unless its another line!
Cannon St and Tower Hill dont have diverging junctions after the platform.

I'm sure it's not on the District line (prepares to be shot down in flames!)
I'm confused, because we seem to be looking at a platform repeater, but it appears to be showing a red aspect! The other box (immediately to the left) seems to repeat either a shunt signal or harbour lights.

Surely that's not the original image, there seems to be too much green in it!

I did indeed take the picture - with angelislington's camera.
I submitted the picture to the quiz partly because the repeaters do look very red - though I'm sure in the flesh they are definately yellow.

Ah that's better! By the way those repeaters are definitely yellow on site, I used to maintain the signalling in the Hatton Cross area as part of my regular routine. The red that you are seeing is the illuminated dust around the lens. |
