Are you sure about Hammersmith? I was under the impression that
not only do both ends have full a trap-point layout, but that
these are also used by long trains reversing which can't fit
between the two turnouts.


I'll try and remember to have a look tomorrow, but I think he's
right.


Thanks. Other places where wide-to-gauge points are found that noone has
mentioned yet are King's Cross siding and Victoria sidings (Victoria Line).
Also, with reference to a previous poster who mentioned that they're unique
to LU, they can be found in Waterloo Depot on the Waterloo & City Line,
though whether this ever counted as non-LU is a matter of pedantry.
