Although I included Track Circuits on my drawing I didn't show the TC numbers. Peter Churchman has kindly carried out some research and has identified (we think) the relevant numbers. He's helped me by adding these onto my drawing.

I hadn't shown the items relevant to TC 10367 on my rough, on-site drawing but they've been added by Peter for completeness.

Also Peter found the actual commissioning certificate for TC 30 which can be seen here www.flickr.com/photos/192151030@N08/52420046985/in/album-...
