The brief history of the Metropolitan Line published in 1973 makes no
mention of the terms. *Neither does the contemporary How the Underground

on the Hill. *Negative evidence I know.

Old BR sectional appendixes will presumably use the owner's definitions
between Harrow and Amersham/Aylesbury ?

Does anybody have access to the appropriate docs?


I have two old Westinghouse publicity brochures describing signalling
alterations on the Met. around Harrow in 1924/5 and at Edgware Road in
1927. "Up" and "Down" designations are used throughout the text and
diagrams and can be clearly seen on a photograph of the signal box
diagram in Harrow North signal cabin.


Well that is about as definitive as we are likely to see. Thanks.

I've had a further rummage through my collection of LT publications and not
one of them seems to have any reference to the subject. Unfortunately I
don't have a copy of Rails Through the Clay so can't see if that has any.
