Oh! Are there four tracks at WJ High Level station? I've never
noticed. I thought it was just a pair of platforms facing each
other. Was there once an island platform serving two tracks
between
the ones that the stopping trains use?
He's talking about the slow lines on the 4-track Euston-Watford
main line. WJ High Level (NLL) has just two tracks either side of
a short island platform.
In that case, I've even more confused, because I thought that the
platforms at WJ LL *were* on the slow lines, the fast lines being
the ones that bypass the station altogether. Or are there six
tracks here - two fast, two slow and a *third* set that has the
platforms?
Yes, I think you'll find that all the way to Watford, there are four
"main line" tracks and two DC tracks.
