The line was equipped with electric automatic block signalling.
This was the first such installation to be approved by the Board of Trade.

This page should be regarded as “Work in Progress”. The webmaster will welcome additional information for this page.
In the list below the information is set out in tabular form, spread over four columns. The column entries are -
RailRef | The Line Code used in RailRef system. |
Line Detail | The principal locations included within the Line Code. They are arranged in 'down' direction order. Locations shown are primarily stations and junctions to allow easy cross check against published atlases. Signal box names appear in italics where these are 'intermediate' to stations or have been shown to facilitate links from other pages on this web site. The inclusion of a station or junction name does not imply that there was always a signal box of that same name! |
SBR | The section reference used in the relevant Signal Box Register published by the Society. |
ELR | The corresponding Engineer's Line Reference(s). This will be blank for railways that never came within British Railways terms of reference. It will also be blank where British Railways had no surviving responsibility for infrastructure at the time the ELR system came into use. |
Milepost mileages for the LSWR are principally taken from Waterloo. As Waterloo is currently regarded as being 0m05c the datum is probably relates to the buffer stops of the main line station before the rebuilding or to the boundary with the SECR on the former connecting line. For conveniance and to relate to other publications present day mileages have been used with earlier ones listed or referred to as appropriate.
The SRS has in its possession a set of LSWR Distance Books which are undated. A similar set for the SECR and LBSCR sections were dated November 1931. The books are marked 'revision mileage' and include milepost mileages that were being proposed. The track layouts appear to date from about 1922 and the 'revision mileages' have been carefully stuck over the original ones shown. Some of the 'revision mileages' were implemented and some were not.

The change was implemented and a file of level crossing survey reports in the SRS archive contains a list of old and new mileages for the crossings. Reports dated up to 1943 use the old mileages and those dated 1944 onward use the new ones. This may well be when the change was implemented.

However, the 1931 distance book proposed remiling using zero at Eastleigh East Junction to 22m51c at Tunnel Junction. There is no evidence that the change was ever implemented although George Pryer's Track Layout Diagrams (volume S3) uses them. Perhaps, given the 1980 change on the Lymington branch, he was expecting such a change to occur when he went to print in 1981. |
