I've heard from a friend who is a driver on the night tube that there was a derailment at the south end of Neasden depot the other day. Any more information on that incident, keeping within the usual group rules of course.

Any more information on that incident, keeping within the usual group rules of course. Not reported as derailment but Saturday morning 23 March 05.55 a Jubilee train passed a signal at danger within the depot and damaged pointwork. All subsequent departures MET and Jubilee had to leave northbound. Points unable to be repaired during weekend. |

This could be unrelated but workers were out for most of Saturday in the vicinity of the South outlet signal as the level crossing was stuck “on”.

A set of points were run through by the SPAD
Run through is where the train pushes the points when set the wrong way and it bends most of the rodding and all the point equipment needs replacing including stretcher bars for safety

At least Neasden has exits at both ends of the depot, so I guess that reduced pressure on the P-Way staff to fix the points over the weekend.
It actually amazes me, that often very complex repair work can get carried out so quickly, without massive impact on services given the current safety regime. Presumably someone was very busy filling in risk assessment paperwork before even a single person set foot on site.
Harking back to the late 80s? I vaguely recall encountering a District line train which had run straight through the buffers down at Richmond and then set about demolishing the station roof/concourse before it finally came to a rest. Whilst there were ambulance people aplenty I don't think anyone was badly injured either inside the train or out on the concourse. Indeed apart from a wonky door the drivers cab seemed pretty much intact, and clearly demonstrated just how well built those D Stock units were. Certainly without being hampered by current H&S constraints I think the emergency crews got stuck in straight away as it disappeared overnight. The sad thing is I assume the affected unit was not worth fixing.

Now car 300004 part of train 230.004 for West Midlands Trains.   |

As stated, 7100 was fully repaired. In fact despite a few other minor damage incidents and repairs over the years, the full 75 train D stock fleet was intact at the start of the D stock withdrawals.
