WSMR Route Learner
Due to engineering works taking place on various sections of the Chiltern lines, Wrexham & Shropshire trains were frequently diverted at weekends via the WCML and some wonderfully obscure routes around north west London. This meant that train crew needed to be familiar with all the possible routes to be used and so several crew training runs were undertaken using the Chiltern/WSMR "Bubblecar" 960 014. I was privileged to be invited to travel on one of these workings on Thursday 4th February 2010, starting from Chiltern's Wembley LMD. More photos to be added, as per usual! Many thanks to those at WSMR who granted me this privilege... Just a shame about the weather! All photos taken with permission and under supervision.

Immediately ahead is the bridge over the Grand Union Canal and on the right is Acton Canal Wharf's signal ACW29, the up starter and only semaphore signal operated by this box, which can be seen in the distance, its home signal showing a yellow aspect. 11:18, Thursday 4th February 2010.
