"Charles Ellson" wrote The Chiltern services are not really suitable for the short-distance journeys that could be expected in the peaks if they stopped at West Hampstead. It could be different outwith the peaks and/or at weekends. Another snag might also lie with what space might or might not be available for the platforms to be reinstated. There have never been platforms serving the Great Central (now Chiltern) tracks at any station south of Harrow-on-the-Hill, As was the agreement between the boards of the two railways when the MS&L Ry London Extension was constructed. so nothing to 'reinstate'. Did the Met station at West Hampstead have four platforms during the period 1913 (when it was quadrupled) and 1939 (when the Bakerloo took over the central pair of tracks)? Lords, Saint Johns Wood, and Finchley Road were of course double track. I do not know if the formation widened to four tracks at, or before, West Hampstead. I do recall seeing a photograph of a very bad crash at West Hampstead Met. Station. The platform, in the photograph, appears to be an island. Whether it was a single island, or, one of a pair, I do not know. |
