I understand that over the coming Christmas holiday, 4 workstations will be introduced at West Hampstead in the former Maintainers’ Mess & Locker Room as a temporary measure. These will replace the present "eNtrance-eXit" (N-X) panel that was installed in the late 1970s when West Hampstead was built. This will free up the current room with the N-X panel to allow said panel to be removed. (Regrettably we don't have the room at St Albans South to preserve it!) The control of the 4 MML platforms will be moved back to West Hampstead from Three Bridges ROC.
The present N-X panel room will be refurbished and the workstations eventually moved there from their temporary location.
There are no alterations to the signals themselves.
Not a good start for the supposedly 'upgraded' signalling system so far - multiple signalling failures causing
significant delays to Thameslink services and nothing able to run in/out of platforms 1-4* at St Pancras:
