I know this is a big 'ask'.....but does anybody have access to the Supplementary Notice of Signalling Alterations associated with the Stageworks between Kings Cross and Hitchin (and Hertford Loop) in the 1970s. I am especially looking for signalling notices associated with the abolishment of the remaining signal boxes along the line and the introduction of both temporary NX panels and the later full migration from local operation to full KX PSB operation.
I have looked on both the 's-r-s' and 'signalling notices' web sites and there is No.46 (Wood Green to Potters Bar) which has been scanned and can be downloaded as a pdf file. Others would appear available but the files can not be downloaded.
If anyone has copies of these signalling notices along the line at that time period and would be prepared to scan them into pdf, I would be most grateful.
Thanks all

I am not in a position to provide you with scans S&T, but if you look again at the BR(E) 1970-1991 section of signallingnotices.org.uk
http://www.signallingnotices.org.uk/not ... aps=&coll= ,
then, in case of help, I can tell you,
but from memory so
all subject to details in the Notices that
(not forgetting that at least some of the individual Notices' dates listed therein say 'Date Issued', which sounds like not being the precise dates of implementation) : -

(Info. re stages beyond Hitchin not shown above.)
Some smaller stages / changes (e.g . Holloway), and transfer of control from 'local' panels to KX, would not have had separate signalling Notices, but would've been covered by Section 'C' items in the Weekly Operating Notice.
So closure of several boxes would not have been in the content of the Signalling Notices: These boxes would probably have included such as Goods & Mineral, Holloway South Up, South Down, North Down, Finsbury Park Nos. 2, 4 & 6, and all those which ended up with only what became the Relay Room-located satellite panels.
