Thanks for confirming that, Chris. However..... does the Bakerloo Line not run out as far as Harrow & Wealdstone, ie beyond Stonebridge Park - there was a train length spur there for reversing trains the last time I went through Harrow, and that was earlier this year? The Bakerloo Line sheds at Queens park remain and when coming back from town in the early hours of the morning I've seen tube stock stabled there. Certainly Bakerloo Line trains stopped going as far as Watford a lot of years ago.
Interesting that you mention the fourth rail as it's prompted a question. The Met electric loco Sarah Siddons has done trips on the third rail of the Southern Region (as was) not that long ago, so is the absence of the fourth rail such an issue? Next time I go to the big city I must remember to check the third/fourth rail out as far as Harrow.
Tony - thanks for your continued enthusiasm. Still more to come, but we've seen better than 50% of the images now. However there are one or two quite promising ones of stations on the Met yet to come. We've discussed the possibility that Mr D M Herbert may have been an electrical engineer as there's so much of Stonebridge Park and Croxley Green, but it was clearly an enthusiasm for him in view of the number of London Transport images, and the fact that he photographed the wooden slipper block at Rickmansworth. I'd just love someone to pop out of the woodwork and confirm who he is, or perhaps, sadly, was.
