Description
A BR cab view vid now on the Barking to Gospel Oak line. A view from the front of a class 117 DMU from Barking to Gospel Oak. Part 3 shows the route from South Tottenham to Gospel Oak, passing some closed stations (St Annes Road, Highgate Road High Level) and passing the quaintly named Junction Road Junction! We also see a semaphore Intermediate Block Home signal which ended up as the last semaphore signal of this particular type (most were & those still extant are colour lights) between Harringay and Upper Holloway. At this time the route was controlled from manual signal boxes with plenty of semaphores. Leytonstone itself didn't even have any track circuits for its station limits! It was switched out and eventually abolished in the early 1990s. The route now is thriving and has a much better train service, a lot more signals and new stock (at last!). If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
