ITYF that the signalling from Putney Bridge to East Putney is to
LUL standards these days, not NR's.

The signalling is operated by Network Rail and their rules and
operational procedures apply. Maintenance and faults are dealt with by
Metronet (though it was previously sub-contracted out under Railtrack
I believe).

Under the PPP Upgrades there will need to be more frequent trains (so
that the Infraco can get extra money through improving journey times).
One way of doing this is installing the new SSR signalling down to
Wimbledon. It has not yet been decided if LUL will then take over the
operation of the line.

Also under PPP Upgrades, tripcocks will go, being replaced by ATP.

What I really meant was that there are tripcocks now from Putney Bridge
to East Putney.
