I know one set to the Isle of Wight went - W.Ruislip to B.R. > Greenford Loop > (allegedly W. Drayton > Staines via old connection to the Southern, although l have doubts about this bit - l think it went via Clapham J.) > on to the Southern's S. W. division and then on to Eastleigh. Umm!West Drayton to Staines - the connection between the Southern and Western was taken out of use after WW2 . When the new link was installed prior to the closure of the Staines West branch south of Colnbrook, due to the M25 project the final excursion did travel from West Drayton - Staines West and then on to Staines Southern.

Yes, l thought that bit unlikely. More likely off the Greenford Loop via W Ealing to Clapham J. rather than of the loop via Hanwell then Staines. Until somebody can come up with a photo, l'll go with the W.Ealing > C Junction idea ATHOUGH, what year was the direct route Greenford, Perivale, N Acton Junction > Wood Lane > West London Line to C.J. closed? Was L.T stock transferred to B.R. both before and after that closure date?

Allegedly, that is now more expensive than using low loaders with police escorts. IF it is more expensive, it shouldn't be. Regretfully, never any Police outriders!

You also have to register the stock on the Rolling Stock Library and show how they meet Railway Group Standards, or get derogations where they don't, get the gauged for the route etc etc. A very expensive and time consuming process, hence why they go by road.

Dan

3067 has been retained by BCV as a mobile training unit for cleaning staff, so can transfer between Ruislip, Northumberland Park, Stonebridge Park as required. Before anyone asks, I don't think they are going to fit it with Central Line ATP or the new Victoria Line WestRace system. It will transfer in cancelled Engineering Hours.
Regards,
Dan

I only made it three cars but could be wrong. It took two passes to get those three numbers. Andy

It sounds like a permanent feature, at least until it becomes too costly to maintain it. Acton Works are getting a 67TS unit though as a replacement for their existing 72TS Mk1 shunter. Regards, Dan
