The building is so labelled, but what is a 'T.P.H.'? One Network Rail safety site gives 'Traction Power Hut', but all other technical references have 'Track Parallelling Hut', a more descriptive term as apparently they balance the traction voltage in parallel tracks midway between power supply substations. The building is some way from the site of Ash Junction, which was just beyond the curve at the end of the straight, where the surviving line curves away from the abandoned line to Farnham Junction via Tongham.
