Thanks for the Info Andy, can you comment on the rumor that only 40% of

About 75% of the work was complete. From what I understand LUL were overly
worried about an overun especially with the RMT about to dig there heels in
so the job was descoped. The new south to south was complted and the start
of the north to north and most the related plain line. The July 7th was pre
booked for plain line renewal so both jobs will happen that weekend.

The junction is being remodelled, mainly to remove the moveable angles
in the fast/slow convergence and to replace otherwise worn-out track
and pointwork.

The New (Southern) Watford South Junction, was started during the
Easter Shutdown.
It is scheduled to be commissioned during the Summer. Also I believe
(but dont have the dates to hand but they should be on the TfL
website) that there will be a number of weekday shutdowns Harrow/
Northwood-Amersham/Chesham/Watford and Marylebone-Great Missenden.

Were these panels made up on site as they do appear to be very big to
have been craned in?

They were brought in by the Class 66 locos during one of the plain line
renewals.

The pannels for the east junction will be (re)made up on site. Its soon to
be under test at Balfours in Beeston.

Do you have the kilometrage for the new junctions?

Where will the signalling centre be for the area / line? Are the cabins
to complete close meaning all the sidings and stabling points will be
controlled from a long distance away?

There will be an "interim" signalling centre/portakabins to replace
the Met Main Cabins (and possibly Hammersmith, even Edgware Road).
This is now expected to be at Neasden, but was going to be in a
central London TfL Office.

When the new SSR Service Control Centre is ready, everything will be
migrated accross. LU want to SSR Control Centre to be built in
Hammersmith (near the H&C station) but apparently the planning
application was turned down.
