Southbound local between Northwick Park and Preston Road.
Four GB trains involved.
Same closure (Wembley Park to Northwood and Rayners Lane) next weekend according to the TfL list.
Reported as five GB trains involved.

LU provided one train and a tamper last week, GB provided 4 trains. This weekend the same closure is in place and 5 GB trains are booked into the site, the extra train being the Slinger set from Tonbridge. LU will be providing a train and a tamper as always  |

There is a class 66 parked just east of Rayners Lane attached, I think, to something. Couldn't quite see what earlier.

It's connected to several wagons containing ballast. Was in the area from early Saturday morning (first seen about 5am) & today parked on the westbound line.

This weekend the same closure is in place and 5 GB trains are booked into the site, the extra train being the Slinger set from Tonbridge. No sign of a 'slinger set' or RSDT (Rail and Sleeper Delivery Train) in the five GB trains I observed last weekend. From a posting on se-gen and Mk1 eyeball on site the train from Tonbridge was 66708 t&t 66738 + 23 MLA. harrowrail asked 'how often do they do a loco change as part of the operation.' Fairly often. Last week there were five trains (ten ends) and nine locos in use. They have to be top and tailed to reverse at Neasden South Jn (among other places). Once one of the early incoming trains has arrived at Harrow one of the locos will drop off and work light engine to meet up with a later working. A similar arrangement takes place on the way out. The eastbound line between West Harrow and short of Harrow on the Hill was relaid last weekend. Andy |
