As I understand it, the Wimbledon bit is now LU, though signalled by
NR (presumably this will change whenever Wimbledon needs to be
resignalled).

NR trains don't normally run from Putney to Wimbledon, though. Don't they?

IIRC, NR trains went through there on occasion just to facilitate
placing rolling stock in position.

There's a couple of odd-hours Waterloo-Wimbledon (and beyond, and vice
versa) services routed via Point Pleasant Junction/East Putney. The
line is also used for ECS moves, diversionary moves, and for access to/
from Wimbledon depot.

AFAICT there are 3 passenger services, and about 10 ECS moves in the
diagrams for a normal weekday, which is more than I expected. I think there
are 4 or 5 down direction ECS moves after the morning peak, so I imagine
daytime travellers on the District will be familiar with the main line
trains passing through.

Passenger services for those interested:
0454 Basingstoke to Waterloo
0042 (FX) Waterloo to Strawberry Hill
0105 Waterloo to Southampton
