Hi, I know there is a flyunder to the east of the station so train from High Street Kensington do not have to cross the main line but is there anything to the west of the station for trains arriving from the Wimbledon branch or do they have to cross the westbound line at a flat junction?

Yes the westbound main to West Kensington crosses under the eastbound from West Brompton IIRC although I haven't walked that area for 30 years.

Yes, trains from Wimbledon pass over westbound trains. Looking at the diagram, I'm surprised to see wimblewares conflict with eastbound trains heading for Gloucester Road.

I have no information to add to this thread, but I thought I would just say hello Zoe, and welcome to the forum!

<a href="http://www.geocities.com/idsmesig/Signals/Cromwell_Road_EC_1957.pdf">Found it</a>, but the old layout looks worse. All eastbound trains from Earl's Court run over a single track (past EC51).
Although I can't see how the conflict could be removed with just points - ideally the flyover at the west end would need to take Wimblewares across to platform 1.

The current link is www.geocities.com/idsmesig/Signals/Cromwell_Road_Large.pdfAlthough I can't see how the conflict could be removed with just points - ideally the flyover at the west end would need to take Wimblewares across to platform 1. You are absolutely right and I have commented on the "unbalanced" nature of the two grade separated juntions east & west of Earls Court in a previous thread. |
