West Ruislip signal box was built by London Transport and the frame was installed in 1939-40 but the re-signalling scheme postponed for duration of the Second World War. It was built to the London Transport Type design and opened on the 21st November 1948 fitted with a we think a 59 lever Westinghouse 'N' frame (frame number 199). See note below. The frame also controled Ruislip Gardens via 15 of its levers, using the Route setting levers principle. |

| Records are a bit confusing, but it appears that the frame was ordered as a 59 lever frame, but it looks like only 44 levers were actually installed, {or maybe 44 commissioned out of 59?} original order config for 59 lever frame was 14 points, 30 signals & 14 others, final config seems to be 44 lever frame, with 11 points, 15signals & 15 route levers for Ruislip Gardens | ||||
