With regard to the above, I know, and have pictures of the main sidings
on the UP line, to London, removed around 1965/66.
However I am almost totally positive, I think, that I can recall a
siding behind the DOWN platform, to Uxbridge. I seem to remember PW
trains, broken down passenger trains, coal trains and steam engines in
this siding. This would be about 1960/61.
Am I mad or just totally confused? There are two arches to the bridge
carrying West End Road, the main one with the UP and DOWN lines, and the
other one empty. Why an arch if no siding?
If you go to www.old-maps.co.uk, you can look at maps from a range of
dates. The 1935, 1960, 1962, and 1968 maps all fail to show anything
south of the running line, though there's a suggestive amount of empty
space. Even going back to 1914 shows nothing there.

Thank you, Clive. I have had a look at the maps, and now doubt my sanity!! I was the only one left in the whole world that thought I was even remotely sane!! Now I think the only option left is to talk to my older sister who travelled the same route for a year longer. I just wish LUL would let me have access to the back of the platform just to look to see if there is any track bed signs left. Thanks again.
