At least two locations on LU have switches which may well be unique to

LU,
inasmuch as they can be set with both blades open, when they act as
catchpoints. The locations are a) east end of Earls Court District

station,
and b) the turnback siding beyond West Hampstead (Jubilee Line). a
photograph of the latter appears on p.150 of "Principles of London
Underground Operations" by John Glover.


Rayners Lane siding does that too.

Are you sure that that is the same set up?
Both the controlled and Kevin Rose's diagrams shows a short stub past the
points, rather than their just being nothing
