South Ruislip semaphores.
Admittadely not the greatest photo, but purely just a record of the one time semaphore signals (long since gone)....plus the old track layout and signalbox at South Ruislip.
Track has since been remodelled here so that the non-stopping Thames Turbos and Marylebone to Birmingham Express services can speed through at a considerable rate of knots.
I'm sure I heard rumours at one time, that there was talk of this line being converted into a coach only expressway, directly into Marylebone !
Date photo taken, for the record is February, 1980.
