District Line trains crashed into each other

wrote I believe one late night train runs for "route learning" purposes 0042 Waterloo to Strawberry Hill as I posted yesterday. Also 0454 Basingstoke - Waterloo in the opposite direction. Oh yes! How did I miss that in table 152? Ah! It's not in it. I forgot to check table 155 and anyway it's not so obvious there which trains might go that way. Any train that doesn't stop at Earlsfield is a possible and there are a great many. I wasn't aware however that the Woking stoppers now call at Earlsfield outside the peak. So peak commuters may still be surprised by their train taking this route The likelihood of an unplanned diversion in the peak is virtually nil as there isn't any spare capacity on the District line. Occassionally there is a more regular service at weekends due to engineering work on the main line. In this case some District trains usually terminate at Parsons Green or Putney Bridge in order to free up paths for SWT services. Peter Smyth |

They won't be able to turn trains at Putney Bridge any more. I don't think they can reverse in the platforms at Parson's Green. They have to clear the trains and run via a siding. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

On table 155, I agree. So many that I overlooked the possibility. On 152 they are much easier to spot. I wasn't aware however that the Woking stoppers now call at Earlsfield outside the peak. Nor me. I'm more of a Windsor Lines man. So peak commuters may still be surprised by their train taking this route I'm not sure the 0454 counts as "peak commuters"! -- Colin Rosenstiel |
