With regard to the above, I know, and have pictures of the main sidings on the UP line, to London, removed around 1965/66.

However I am almost totally positive, I think, that I can recall a siding behind the DOWN platform, to Uxbridge. I seem to remember PW trains, broken down passenger trains, coal trains and steam engines in this siding. This would be about 1960/61.

Am I mad or just totally confused? There are two arches to the bridge carrying West End Road, the main one with the UP and DOWN lines, and the other one empty. Why an arch if no siding?

Since I plan to build a model railway of Ruislip station at its peak, it would be great to know if I am mad or sane. Any pics or OS maps showing same would be great as well.

Thanks,
The Lost One.
