this is the mechanical departure indicator from Richmond, photographed
in 1981, showing the stopping pattern for Richmond to Broad Street.


Also South Acton isn't there.


Closed 22 years earlier (1959).

Kentish Town West is also missing. When was
the fire?


1971 - reopened 5 October 1981 (later in the year of Chris's photo).

Note also that Embankment (District) and Camden Road slats are
hand-painted. The former will be because the name was previously Charing
Cross but I didn't know Camden Road once had another name?


Yes, it was Camden Town from 1870 until 1950 (having opened as Camden
Road in 1853).
