Up/down/northbound/westbound?

In 1901 the District used Up and Down (Up was generally westwards), the Metropolitan used Up and Down (Up was generally eastwards/southwards), and the C&SLR used Up and Down (Up was generally northwards). When this thread appeared I knew lurking in my deeper recesses of grey matter a present day *LU* use of the term Up somewhere. I realised this week where I had seen it - its on full public view. On the Met. at Baker Street on the east side (dare I say Up side?) of the SB line in the station throat, not far off the north end of the recently extended Pl.4, there is a group of traction section gubbins in their yellow housimgs with enamel POS and NEG nameplates including Up Loop. I believe this is still the present day designation of that track although I'm not involved with SSL stuff so don't know for sure; not marked with any name in any of the editons of Quail I have here, but I don't have all of them. If Up Loop is the tracks correct name, I'd suggest this is more the exception to prove the rule, and it is a legacy name, not indicative of LU general use of the term Up. -- Nick |
