And we still have 317 moves between Navarino Rd Jn, NLL, and Hornsey - this

You do ?

Why ?

Surely those moves ceased in the first timetable change (or around
that time) after FCC took over from WAGN and Ilford gained a 317
allocation - since when Hornsey 317s only work FCC and Ilford 317s
only work on ONE. There were ECS moves before that in WAGN days - when
ONE 317s were still Hornsey based. But why are there any now ? Surely
Hornsey has ceased ONE 317s maintenance since FCC allocated 319s
there.


The original question would have been more interesting when Chingford
line trains were maintained at Hornsey (if they really were, when
"allocated" there).

I don't remember 315 going to Hornsey, only 317's.

The West Anglia batch were all allocated to Hornsey and it was quite common
to pass the depot on the main line and see WAGN and Silverlink 313s, 315s,
317s, the occasional Silverlink 321, 322s and 365s on the depot.

That sounds right now I think about it. I remember seeing odd silverlink
stock knocking about down there, I think there was a 321 in last time I went
past (months ago).

Is there any plans to re-open Coronation Sidings come to think of it ? Every
9 months a gang go in to 'de-shrub' the area to stop the OLE finding a nice
path to ground, and the temporary lights are back again on the far road. The
north end access is still blocked[1] but the south end was open again.

And on a whole other tangent - LER have just put out to tender for new
carriage washers (Although I can't remember where for)

[1] Not only is there a stop sign at the gates but the spur off the Bounds
Green yard road is hidden under some quite big bushes, and shrubs again!

None that I know of. It's a shame, after all the work that was done - but if
the space isn't needed then I suppose that it would be an awful waste of
money (OTOH how much does it cost to keep them deforested, rather than just
dewiring them and lifting them?). I thought the same thing as I passed on
the ECML last week. Of course, Ferme Park was similarly derelict for some
time but has now had a new lease of life, courtesy of fGBR and their
Metronet work. In fantasyland, you could put a nice depot for Hull Trains in
place, which would eliminate all those silly ECS movements at the north end
to Crofton. ;-)

As has been said, Silverlink 321s still appear from time to time. There
are no Silverlink 365s of course.

Nobody mentioned Silverlink 365s.

Er, it said "Silverlink 321, 322s and 365s on the depot".

It also says WAGN and Silverlink 313s, Colin. 315s, 317s, 322s and 365s do
not need specific qualification because they are/were all allocated to one
operator. ;-)
