Every once in a while an event is encountered that was not planned - but is still of sufficient interest to warrant filming.
Whilst on my way home last Thursday I encountered a London Overground train at Stratford station's platform No. 11 - normally Overground trains call at platforms 1 and 2, so seeing one calling at this platform is something I thought might be of interest.
As an aside, I knew that they can also go to 10a, but not 11
Hence this very short film
Enjoy,

The service that leaves Willesden Junction Monday to Friday @ 06.15 terminates in platform 11 and then becomes the 07.04.departure. There is always a delay with the doors opening and there are no pink oyster readers on the platform but both here and on 10A I have never been charged as having travelled via zone 1 seemingly on the basis I touched pink at Willesden Junction.

I wonder ... is that a staff training train, a Parliamentary train or a service to prove that some sections of track are used by LO as otherwise they might cease being available for LO services?

Cartometro.com shows both platforms 10A and 11 with an orange/black dotted line so they know both can handle LO as well as "BR" traffic.
