West Hampstead

TIPLOC Codes

Location Sequences

Locations and their mileages are shown below. Entry points corresponding to exit TIPLOCs are shown in (brackets). In most cases, the TIPLOC identity is that used in real life, hence some signal TIPLOCs are listed variously as LUTO123, WH456, or WHMP789, for example.

Mandatory timing locations have changed in the ~30 years life of West Hampstead signalbox. The simulation, where possible, allows timetables over the years to be written according to the mandatory rules of those years.
