Default Claphan Junction Disused platform 1


"Mystery Flyer" wrote in message
...
Was platform 1 at Clapham Junction ever used?

There are a load of disused sidings behind it so the right of the Putney
line looking towards Putney. What were these for?

Is the disuse related to the ghost platform at Queenstown Road all painted
blue with 'don not alight here'

Just curious. I always like to know why things fall into disuse.


I don't believe the changes were are in any way connected, but I cannot
recall the exact usage of CJ platform 1.

The platform arrangement at Queenstown Rd changed when the track usage was
altered to allow for the Stewarts Lane/Nine Elms flyover for Eurostar. The
4 tracks for the WIndsor direction used to reduce to 3 just west of
Queenstown Rd, now they effectively reduce to the 2 platform lines, leaving
the single line on the north side of the formation for empty stock moves
between Eurostar's North Pole depot and the International platforms.
