I'm led to believe that in 1995 there was a resignalling project around the Eastleigh PSB area focusing on the lines north of Eastleigh. The British Power Signalling Register references something called SWISS1, however I couldn't find any information about this from googling. What I reckon was done at this point (based on looking at the 1994 Quail map and with a little local knowledge) was: * SIMBIDs installed Eastleigh-Micheldever (does this include the bidirectional capability of the down slow line between Eastleigh and Allbrook?) * Micheldever station remodelled; crossovers moved to north of station from south; entrance to yard moved to north of station and became a facing junction rather than the old trailing one south of the station * Various ground frame moves became signalled moves (eg into Micheldever sidings and Winchester Baltic?) * Flashing yellows installed for diverging routes around the Wallers Ash, Shawford Junction, and Allbrook areas Have I got this all right? Did any of these things actually happen at a different time? Was anything else notable done that I haven't mentioned? An additional bit of weirdness to me is that while my 1991 and 1992 freight WTTs show trains from the north reversing at Micheldever station to enter Micheldever oil sidings as I would expect, my 1985 timetable does not. My hunch is that this was just taken as read back in 1985 whereas later on they decided to be explicit about it — but I can't help but wonder if Micheldever was actually remodelled multiple times and maybe in 1985 there were connections at both ends!
