![]() "D7666" wrote in message oups.com... I agree it certainly started but was not finished. The Central Division (mainly) boxes LB, VA, Three Bridges were certainly three of them - but I think that was it. I am not so sure Ashford was one - maybe if so it would have been much extended. ISTR Ashford was older, resignalled under Kent Coast Phase II, and like Eastleigh and Basingstoke and other 1960s boxes pre-dated the 13 box scheme, and replaced by a new one/s or the equipment/s supplanted. Then what went into Ashford was - by the time it was done - was no longer part of the 13 box scheme. I'm wondering if Dartford was one of them, not sure. OTH, I'm pretty sure Feltham was not. Or again, both of these might have been locations for extension or upgrade into the 13 box plan. Waterloo would also have been one of them - but was deferred delayed and generally procrastinated over by which time the idea had moved on, and SR as in the region had more or less gone by the time it was under way. I'd be interested if anyone can dig out some detailed plans of the 13 box scheme to see how it compares with todays railway. I wonder if there will ever be any major Area Signalling Centres developed in the south, cf Rugby? Or will there only be piecemeal improvements like Portsmouth (new Havant SC) and the current Basingstoke works... Paul |
