| Steve Roberts worked as a guard at the Elephant and Castle and was able to give some details of the frame at least from the working as he remember it from the 1970's. The cabin code was 'BS'
My thanks to Steve Robert,s for the following information.
The levers for the points were not in the frame at all, the normal or reverse indications were on the track diagram. In fact, there were no remote interlockings as far Steve is aware at Elephant & Castle.
Lever 1, the southbound home, was what was called a free lever, effectively the lever worked automatically when
reversed.
Lever 2 was a blank space.
Lever 3, when you saw it at the museum and indeed when I saw it in operation at E&C was spare (white) but had been a calling on signal located below signal 10.
Lever 4 was a shunt sounthbound from the northbound running road to the southbound (push) or northbound
(pull) platforms located to the north of the sissors crossing.
Lever 5 (push) was the shunt from the southbound platform to the southbound siding.
Lever 6 was the shunt from the northbound platform to either the southbound siding (push) or the northbound siding (pull).
Lever 7 was the southbound siding exit shunt signal to the southbound plantform (push) or the northbound platform (pull).
Lever 8 was the shunt from the northbound siding (pull) to the northbound platform.
Lever 9 was a blank space.
Lever 10 was the southbound inner home to the southbound platform (push) or the northbound platform (pull).
Lever 11 was the soundbound platform starter (push) and the northbound platform starter (pull).
Crossovers were numbered 101, 102 and 103. |
