I knew the Met & SJWR was originally single track, but it's interesting that platforms 1&2 shared one track.
I wonder if this diagram was the original configuration when the Baker Street to Swiss Cottage line opened in 1868 or if platforms 3&4 were added between then and 1912.
Where did you find this image Stanmore K?

I think the fact that the line was single track is a bit over played. The stations Lords, Marlborough Rd and Swiss Cottage were double tracked as passing loops.
An 1872 paper giving an account of the construction of the bridge over Regents Canal states that MSJWR was intended to be double tracked in the future. The 1868 bridge itself carries two tracks and is possibly the oldest metal underbridge on LU. It was an advanced construction for its time as its main girders were of a shallower depth than standard. The new line ran under two existing road bridges and also had to leave a minimum 10 foot headroom clearance over the canal.

I have the signalling diagrams for the two boxes that worked Baker Street in this form - Baker Street East and Baker Street Junction. Additionally I have diagrams for the temporary changes that took place in developing the layout from how it is shown in the first post to when it was doubled. If copies are of interest then let me know.

If copies are of interest then let me know. Yes Please. I worked at Baker St Met for years. I would love to see how it was. All expenses paid of course. |
