A1-With effect from 07.30 hours on Sunday, 26th July, new signalling will be commissioned in the Baker Street and Lords area, and a new interlocking machine room designated'MB'will be brought into use at Baker Street (Metropolitan Line).
A2-All
movements in the area will be controlled for the time being from a new key-operated panel located in Balier Street (Met.) signal box. Eventually this local control will be transferred to Baker Street Signalling Control Centre.
B_TRACK AND SIGNALLING B1-All signal and point numbers in the area will
be changed. Full details of the new arrangements are shown on the diagrams included in this Supplement. N.B. These diagrams show the final arrangement but, after commissioning, certain temporary speed restrictions will be in force pending completion of the Permanent Way work.
B2-The track layout will be revised so that the route from the southbound main line into Baker Street platform l, currently via the scissors crossover and double slip, will now be via a new crossover further north ofthe station. B3-Signal MBI/4A will clear if the speed of an approaching train is controlled in accordance with the 25 m.p.h. permanent speed restriction sign. B4-Signal MB4B will clear for route I if the speed of an approaching train is controlled in accordance with the 25 m.p.h. permanent sign. Signal MB4B is approach lit and is extinguished until signal MBL/4A has cleared for a route with No. 7 points normal. Bs-Signal MB5 will clear if the speed of an approaching train is controlled in accordance with the 25 m.p.h. permanent MB5 is approach lit and is extinguished until signal MB4B has cleared for the route to platform 3.

(b) If a train exceeding 1 15 metres in length is required to reverse in platform 6, signal MB28 must be cleared to allow the train to draw forward in order to reverse at signal MBl8. (It will not be backtripped at signal MB28). (c) Reversal of long trains from the Outer Rail to the northbound Metropolitan Line may only be done via platform 2.

must draw well up to signals at Danger to ensure the prompt operation of any route releasing or speed control arrangement. Where a delta track (rail circuit) is provided, its position is indicated by a metal triangle fixed to the sleeper.

C2-The power frame levers will be taken out of commission. The new interlocking machine will be controlled from a key panel installed in the signal box power frame. Keys provided for route-setting are of the non-locking, spring-loaded, centre-off type. To select a route, the key must be depressed and held until the associated visual is illuminated. The route will be cancelled when the train accepts the route or when it is manually cancelled by the Signalman lifting the key.
keys of the single-throw locking type areprovided to introduce "Full Auto" or "Auto with Starting Signals Held" working on the Circle Line. In the latter mode, signals MB17 and MB28 are selected by using the appropriate route-setting keys. Returning from "Full Auto" or "Auto with Starting Signals Held" modes to normal mode does not cancel individual routes. Ifrequired, these may be cancelled by lifting the relevant route-setting
