Cluttered
As with lot of railways around the London area, Greenford is no different in having a very hemmed in feel of track & infrastructure. There are very few natural vantage points of the box or signals and the pole was used on most occasions to gain a bit of height.
Out of sight behind the undergrowth, the line on the far left with the semaphores still in situ runs from South Ruislip through to Old Oak Common and sees little traffic throughout the day. The LT lines are in the centre and on the far right, with the line from West Ealing being the one that the 165 is occupying.
The 1904 built Greenford East signal box can be seen in the middle and has the honour of having the last remaining lower quadrant semaphores in the London area.
GWR's 165119 is seen departing with 2G37 1437 Greenford to West Ealing on 13th March 2023.
