Apologies in advance if this is a daft question / been asked and answered before - am new here so bound to make all sorts of mistakes.
Here's the question - do the battery locos ever venture down the Wimbledon Branch? I recall a recent bout of track renewal work at the Wimbledon end involving GBRf Class 66s and suitable trains but I assume that was because East Putney to Wimbledon is NR track.
Just wonder what the chances are of seeing any of the battery locos in this part of the world, having lived here for over 20 years and never seeing them any nearer than Earl's Court?

Battery locos are permitted to operate between East Putney & Wimbledon [and including East Putney Pfm 3/4]

The track south of Putney Bridge is owned and maintained by Network Rail Not correct the infrastructure is owned by LUL but maintained under contract by Network Rail. Unlike the Richmond branch which is owned and maintained by Network Rail. Network Rail maintain the Wimbo branch due to the fact the signalling is to Network Rail standards and also the traction is fed by Network Rail |
