On Wikipedia, there is currently this:

Signalling is under One Train Working[11] (without Train staff) rules, where only one train is allowed on the line at a time. Trains can be moved into Watford Junction yard by a manual ground frame there. On 28 October 2005 its incorrect operation caused an incident with a train not in passenger service.

I'm pretty sure the One Train Working thing is still true. I'm absolutely certain the 28 October incident happened. However, I think there's now a signalled connection from the down slow to the Abbey Line and units are swapped regularly with a token daily(ish) service from Euston. Right?

Am asking because if this is no longer the case, I'll update it.

For future reference, when referring to an external source, it is preferable to link to and quote from a primary source wherever possible; failing that, a reputable/verified source should ideally be used.

My understanding is that Wikipedia does require it's contributors to refer to such sources wherever possible.

My intention in asking is to update Wikipedia if it's (as I think) inaccurate. I'll update post to say that.
