Just checked TFL website and it says that there has been a derailment at Ealing Broadway.
Will this last all day?
Not often do I hear derailments/

Admin hat on:
Unfourtunately the incident is subject to an RAIB investigation so that won't be allowed at this time.
Links to public news sites are of course not restricted.

Unit 7036 has been officially withdrawn it seems. Probably not worth getting it back into serviceable condition.

If you have a reliable source for that information, fair enough, but as stated its still in platform 7 at Ealing Broadway pending further investigation by RAIB and hasn't yet been handed back to LU.
Only the leading bogie derailed, at low speed, and the body didn't collide with anything so your statement that its unserviceable seems a bit strong to me.

Somebody has listed it as withdrawn in the D Stock withdrawals thread. That's my information source! |

Fair enough in that case.
The person who last edited the information was at Ealing today so I guess they've been given the heads up.

It's far from unusual for even a minor accident to a unit that is part of a fleet being withdrawn to result in that unit not reentering traffic.

Same thing happened at Farringdon with a C stock when they were being withdrawn.

7036+7091 are being dispatched from Ealing Common, without re-entering service after the derailment.

An A stock hit a tree shortly before withdrawal meaning it never re-entered service. Was there a 67 stock that was withdrawn for similar reasons as well? |

I remember a similar thing happening to A62 DM 5161, it came off the rails leaving Wembley sidings in April 2011, and we all thought it was game over. The leading bogie got repaired and it carried on for another fourteen months or so of service.

That would have been DM 3016.... oh flippen heck that makes me sound like a trainspotter...    Unusually I think the car still survives at the Low Hall Transport Museum in Walthamstow  It did survive, however in recent years most of the car has been scrapped on site, leaving only a small section. There were two incidents involving 67 stock during the 1990s, another involved car 3184. As with 3016/4016 some years earlier, this car was scrapped and replaced as part of a reshuffle involving 72 stock - in this case the only Northern Line 72 stock car withdrawn at the final withdrawal programme to see further revenue service. The only other 67 stock withdrawn prematurely was the Config B test train, there was a thread on this at the time. This was the first 67 stock train scrapped apart from the cars mentioned above. Once utilised for testing this train never again carried passengers. |

The A stock were quite a hardy bunch. 5173 did get hit by a tree but I was told that cracked bogies on 5172 was the main reason for withdrawal.
I can understand why the D stock is not bring returned to service.

Had a feeling they would bring up the fact some documents were out of date they are referring to the asset database as it has not been updated since the area mods last year. In fact 39a points are listed as 39 only as the b end we're just a spring trailer set.

It must have been rather frustrating for the 19 passengers, who were so close to their final destination. Sitting on the train for an hour, outside their final destination, only for it to move and derail! Would have been quicker to get the bus...
Would this be a situation where scotch and clips would be used? (obvious they weren't used on the incident points but sounds like might have been used on others)

Post by tjw on Mar 16, 2016 20:42:43 GMT
Hmmm, Scotch and clips are used on facing points to prevent the points moving under a train (i.e. to avoid all those interesting mishaps in Thomas the Tank engine books!). I cannot remember what the BR rule book said about trailing points... But as far as I remember sprung trailing points would not need any clip or scotch!, although it is un-nerving to be approaching trailing points not set for your route.
N.B. The above may NOT be correct for the modern rule books now in use!

I remember in the 60s on a rare trip into Greenford on a railcar where you could see out of the front through the cab. I was very perturbed when we appeared to be going over a wrongly set trailing point. Obviously a sprung point, but I wasn't aware of them then.
