Hi Another item from the LMA.
Taken from Met & GC Joint Committee 'Special Traffic Arrangements & Engineering Works' for week ending February 3rd 1917. Notice No M&GC(M) 44 of 1917.
4. Working of Brill Engine (Mon Only) Every Monday UFN, the Brill Line engine is changed as under:
Wembley Pk dep 9.49am (a) Quainton Rd arr 11.16am (b)
Quainton Rd dep 12.35pm (c) Aylesbury dep 12.59pm (c) Rickmansworth arr 2.11pm shunt dep 2.50pm Harrow On Hill dep 3.11pm (c) Neasden arr 3.23pm ENGINE TO SHED
Notes: a) Conveying Empty Power House Coal Wagons b) Engine to work 12.5pm to Brill c) Engine off 11.6am arrival into Quainton Road. To convey Goods traffic for Neasden or beyond. Load not to exceed 220 tons. Will call at Aylesbury to make up, shunt at Rickmansworth and call at Harrow to detach.
I hope the above is of interest. I think the changeover of the Brill Branch coach is covered by a path in the WTT.

According to Graeme Bruce (1970) "Steam to Silver", the service alternated between No. 23 (now preserved) and No. 41. He states (p. 65) that the train arrived on roster every Monday but then returned the following Sunday. Naterlee's WTT makes much more sense. I wonder how the crews rostered and where they were based mid-week?
Carriage-wise, GB states the line had a compliment of five coaches - all 1866 builds - from the Oldbury Carriage Co: one 1st class, one brake, and three thirds although the train often comprised only one coach.
BTW is Graeme Bruce a double-barrelled name or was he known as Graeme? His first initial is J. Not knowing which, I find it difficult to reference his work.

I believe Bruce is his surname, whilst J is his first name but he is known as Graeme (presumably his middle name)
