When the Southern Railway brings its new electric train ser vices between Victoria, London Bridge, and Epsom Downs, into operation to-day says a Home paper of June 17, the scene will be set for testing the success of one of the most remarkable engineering jobs on record. This has involved the scrapping of the whole of the exist- ing signalling between the three stations nt London Bridge and Bricklayers' Arme, a distance of two and a half miles, and is re- placement by the most modern equipment

At present there are nine signa! boxes on this crowded section of line, one of the most congested in the world. Their place will be taken by a single power-operated box controlling the whole of the in- ward and outward movement at the three stations, which will henes forth be regarded as one from the operating staralpoint.
