I saw a 6car C stock head through Turnham Green e/b local today @ 1320. Any ideas on what it was doing on the western DR?

I work near Ravenscourt Park station and occasionally see them out this far - at least three times in the last six months or so. And I'm only in sight of the District for about twenty minutes a day as I cross Ravenscourt Park, so I had supposed that they ended up at Ealing (are they in gauge for Richmond?) reasonably frequently. But then I could be completely wrong and - frankly - there are many hereabouts more qualified than me to attempt an answer to your question...

C stock is permitted to run between Turnham Green and Richmond; I suspect that it was certified alongside the D stock after the C77s were brought in for the Wimbleware services, in order to provide the option exercised by the Line Controllers on occassion (with me inside) - namely, to divert them to Richmond.
