Gas lighting
There were five boilers working at driving five (later six) high speed steam engines developing directly coupled to dynamos. The two-pole compound-wound dynamos delivered at no load and under full load; this gave at . Special attention was given to the closeness of the governing to ensure a stable supply voltage. The station lighting circuits were fed from the main switchboard and specially led to maintain lighting supply in the event of a traction current disruption. Station lighting used four lamps in series, with return current via the running rails. (Gas lighting was provided as a back-up.)
