London Victoria Solari flap scripts
Just in case anyone is interested, I have created a Google Group which
contains files that show what was printed on all of the Solari flaps on the main departure board at London Victoria (Central). Please visit http://groups.google.com/group/londo...l-solari-flaps Robert. |

WLL? tom -- Imagine a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where everybody could draw wherever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a living breathing thing which belonged to everybody, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall - it's wet. -- Banksy |

That's a reverse at Clapham Junction, isn't it? I know there's a line that runs from the southbound lines between Battesea and CJ to the WLL, bypassing CJ, but i have no idea if it's reachable from Victoria. It looks like it on the Bartholemew map. If it is, presumably that was the route used, rather than one involving a reverse. I infer from CORE's opinion that this is no longer used as a passenger route. Does anyone know different? Watford to Victoria/Waterloo trains might be quite useful ... Also - "Watford Junction (main line)"? Is there another Watford Junction? tom -- the logical extension of a zero-infinity nightmare topology |
