Excellent work NSEFAN ! What was the route of the WSMR diversion ; via Greenford or reversing from Acton Canal Wharf and Neasden into Marylebone ?

Brilliant photos! 90 024 was at the head of the Pretendolino

Here's my stuff from last weeks diverts:

Thanks, General!

The route on 30/01/10 was via West Ealing, can't say for sure what today will be. I will let you know, or someone else will! There was a fatality near Ealing, causing the lines into Paddington to be shut completely, and I think this happened after 67010 had left South Ruislip, as it was nearly an hour late in passing Carpender's Park. I'm sure it would have been reversed at Neasden South Jn otherwise.

Nice vid, TGVDUDE! I'm surprised they didn't chuck you off Harrow & Wealdstone! It wasn't so bad on 30/01, as there were plenty of enthusiasts there (the guy over the tannoy had to 'remind' people not to flail at trains! )

I saw some people getting told off at South Kenton by the lady in the ticket office. Must have been the tripods which scared her.

There was 2 of us in the morning and three in the evening at ahrrow & Wealdstone. 5 mins before a WSMR was due through a guy told us to get packing but we stayed for it when we were at South Kenton everything was fine though
