Hi all,
If the District Line is suspended between Earls Court and Edgware Road, where are all the C Stock's going?
And how come the Cirlce Line is not affected
Thanks

Hi all, If the District Line is suspended between Earls Court and Edgware Road, where are all the C Stock's going? And how come the Cirlce Line is not affected Thanks Uzair Some will go to Mansion House to reverse, but I should imagine most would go to Parsons Green sidings. Depends on the reason for the suspension though, and how long its likely to last. A signal failure between HSK and ERD usually means the circle keeps running but to minimise delays the district is suspended. And if the District Line is suspended between Earls Court and Edgware Road, are Olympia - High Street Kensington trains affected? Again, depends on the reason for the suspension. If the signal failure is past HSK then no. If its at HSK then probably. |

It was a SPAD, and they did a wrong directional move to bring it back into the platform.

Didn't bring it back to the platform - it was set back (i.e. wrong direction moved) behind the signal in question (ED151) and as then able to proceed to HSK. This was a quicker option than the points in advance of the train being secured. I was in the e/b platforms at ECT when it was occuring, so know for sure that it didn't come all the way back.
As suggested a couple of Wimblewares were diverted to Mansion House, the train I was on was reversed off the main after tipping out in P.2 at Earls Court.
No major problem really - the whole thing was sorted in about fifteen minutes.
There was no impact on the Circle line srvices due to where the incident occured.

There was a C stock stabled in triangle sidings (between Earls Court and High St Ken) when I was there around 3pm today.

Yeah I passed the Triangle Sidings at 3:08 between Earl's Court and Gloucester Road and saw a C Stock train.

If the signal failure is past HSK then no. If its at HSK then probably. Would they be diverted, terminate at Earls Court, or would Earls Court - Olympia also be suspended (I would guess the Olympia service would be suspended, because they seem to stop the Olympia shuttles whenever there's a problem on the District). |

It depends on what has occured. If the failure/problem/whatever is likely to go on for a while then, yes, the OLY service will probably be suspended; on occasions the two trains would be told to remain at OLY and HSK respectively or they may be used to supplement services to other west end branches. The problem with terminating e/b trains at ECT is that it takes time to detrain in P.2 and then do the shunt move in 'the yard' as it's known. They may reverse the occasional one (as indeed they did with my train in this particular instance). The most usual solution is for the Edgware Road trains to be sent up to Mansion House and then they'll be sorted out later by means of short tripping (if necessary). But - as ChrisH said - it does depend on exactly where (and what) the problem is. |

It will also depends who the Line Controller on duty is. Some trains will mainly go to Parsons Green Sidings from Wimbledon others will go to Mansion House to reverse and go back to Putney Bridge or Parson Green but also depends where the driver finishes.
