When and why was it singled? I travelled on the West Ruislip branch of
the Central line sometime around 1990, and vaguely seem to remember
the Direct line being all double track then (though I might be wrong).
What reason could there have been since then to go out and single it?


Don't know when, but I do know that the singling involved leaving the
other track in situ.


Sounds like a rather Zen form of singling! What was the point?
