Rayners Lane and Harrow-on-the-Hill Signal Cabins visit

Rayners Lane and Harrow-on-the-Hill Signal Cabins Visit

Tuesday 15^th July

We have arranged a special visit to The Rayners Lane and Harrow-on-the-Hill Signal Cabins, due to close in 2025 as part of the Four Lines Modernisation (4LM) re-signalling programme. Chris Taggart, Head of London Underground Service Control, is kindly allowing a small group of Friends to see the inner workings of these cabins. 

Rayners Lane controls train movements on the Metropolitan and Piccadilly Lines to Uxbridge; and Harrow-on-the-Hill, which is the largest operational signal cabin on the London Underground, interfaces with Network Rail signalling for Chiltern trains to and from Marylebone.

 

Due to the limited number of spaces available for this visit, we will be running a Ballot to select attendees.

Successful applicants will be split into two groups and meet at 13:00 at either Rayners Lane or Harrow stations depending on their allocated group. They will visit the local cabin first, then travel to the other cabin so that all attendees get to see both signal boxes.

 

• The ballot will close at midnight on Saturday 5th July
• All entries received by the closing date will be entered into the draw
• Only one entry per member
• Succsessful applicants will be notified on 6th July
• There will be a £10.00 administration fee payable by each attendee

For those who are unsuccessful, we hope to offer this visit again later in the year.

 

Please note: Due to the construction of these cabins, this visit may not be suitable for people with mobility issues. At Harrow-on-the-Hill, there are 70 steps up to the signal cabin. Please wear sensible shoes.
