Thanks, John, for wasting an hour and a half of my time yesterday! ;-)
FYI, virtually all of the NLL services are continuing to use the
westbound High Level platform at Willesden Junction to reverse. Only the
first two trains of the day start from Low Level and one late night train
terminates at Low Level. Otherwise it is, effectively, business as usual
from the
High
Level platforms (all trains arriving/departing from the westbound
platform).

Are you saying that there were trains from Willesden Junction to Clapham
Junction and/or Richmond ? Throughout the day LBC was saying that there
were no trains running on these lines.

Didn't we have a query about multiple postings the other day / I've had 3
of this one.


They have different message IDs and different X-refs and the third one was
posted 10 seconds later. Looks like somebody's posting mechanism is b0rked
or a very twitchy finger.

The derailment was in the eastbound platform at Willesden Junction High
Level. On Monday the North Woolwich service was diverted to the bay platform
at Low Level, and Willesden Junction - Clapham Junction and Willesden
Junction to Richmond Silverlink services were suspended.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the North Woolwich service reversed in the
westbound platform at High Level. Silverlink ran an hourly shuttle service
between Clapham Junction and Olympia (supplementing the Southern service
which seems to have run as normal), and provided a bus service between
Willesden Junction and Gunnersbury.
Willesden - North Woolwich has been running at 20 minute intervals,
supplemented, at least on Tuesday and Wednesday by a peak hour shuttle
between Stratford and Highbury & Islington, presumably using the AC line
between Dalston Kingsland and Highbury, as it has not been stopping at
Canonbury.
NWR today (Thursday).

Am I right in reading that the line was blocked the THREE days? What
the flaming heck is the railway playing at. This sort of thing should
be able to be sorted out in 24 hours or not much longer.

The position of the derailment, over an access road to a railway site and
adjacent to the high-level station at Willesden Green and a bus station,
plus being on a tight single-line curving bridge across the WCML would make
it very difficult to "get at" the derailed wagons and remember, they were
full of ballast.

It was a rather awkward location - I don't think they'd have been too
popular if they'd dropped a wagon on to the WCML or the DC line, or if
they'd wanted to block either of those lines for safety except during the
early hours of the morning.
