That Wikipedia entry gives a link to a dedicated site, at http://www.psul4all.free-online.co.uk/2017.htm.

That article lists the Woodgrange Park - Wilsden Junction service
as a parlimentrary one; I don't think it is. It's more of a peak
hours boost using the spare set, isn't it?

Cheers,

It uses a (short) stretch of line no other services use.

Yes, absolutly. Well, no other passenger services.

However "Using track that's not often used" isn't really the definition
of a parlimentery train, IMO. A parlimentry train is one that is
run to avoid the hassle of formal clousure procedures. That service
is a peak hours congestion buster.

It could of course be a parly that unusually runs when people need it,
rather than at the most inconvenient possible time.

It uses IIRC two bits of track not used by other passenger services -
1-GOBLIN to NLL at Gospel Oak
2-NLL to DC line at Willesden
No.2 was devoid of passenger services long before the morning DMU was
running, being one of two ways of getting from Kensal Rise to
Willesden Junction with arrival at different levels/platforms so
possibly disqualified as a Parliamentary.
Did No.1 ever have a passenger service ?

I don't think so; previous western termini have included stations
towards St Pancras, rather than stations beyond Hampstead, as far
as I know.

When the terminus was Kentish Town, as it was for very may years, trains
didn't even get to Gospel Oak.
