Hi,

I have been looking at the signal number diagrams for Victoria Central in 1990 and noticed that the area around West Croydon looks a bit like this:



Based on my memory of the station back when I was a child, should it not look more like this:



I have not had a chance to play this simulation yet as I am still in the middle of other simulations, but I really look forward to playing it at some point in the future!

That right, only platform 1 is like that but platform 2 is like your second picture.

Its now an extension to platform 3 now.

Have found this video of the branch on Tube, althought not all of it. Shows platform 2 at the end of the video.

As John and Copping say you're right Mark.

There is an article about the old West Croydon - Wimbledon branch before it became Tramlink here:

With some photos of the platforms if you scroll towards the bottom of the page
