[QUOTE]Originally posted by Geoff M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [qb][..] Clapham Jn [...] Gatwick (GTW/EGLW) cross this "diamond". [/qb][/QUOTE]Should really be in another thread but... LGW/EGKK is Gatwick. Clapham Jn is certainly not a diamond (possibly any more, I can't speak for several decades ago). In fact the two signalling centres that control it (Victoria and Wimbledon) leave most of the signals in auto ("fleeting" in American-speak) during the day. The two signalboxes are completely independent now and one cannot cross from one to another on the level - there are other connections via flyovers and diveunders. There is a poor quality photo at http://www.flickr.com/photos/innesross/220423096/ with Clapham in the top left where the rows of white lights are (no idea who the star of the photo is). I believe this panel is of 1960s vintage. But it is certainly the busiest station in Britain. Geoff M. [/QB][/QUOTE]
