What other infrastructure at West Brompton required the presence of its own interlocking? From the few diagrams I've seen there were WE home signals at the converging w/b junction from Earls Court, but that's all I've seen.
Was WE originally for a passenger link to the WLER, or was it only for exchanging goods and/or rolling stock?

I have very little information on West Brompton, but a description of the 1905 resignalling states |

If there were engineering works soth of WB it came in very handy. Earl's Court had to release it before use though. On one occassion there was some sort of block in the evening peak at Fulham Broadway and we had to reverse over the crossover to get some movement as the block back had bunged up Earl's Court. |
