Rubbish! No, that's not a comment on your posting - it's what the trains carry.
There's a refuse transfer depot that sends domestic rubbish out in container
trains.
So, no chance of riding the rails there, then? That would complete my
transversing of the spot by all available transport means.
It took me long enough to do the same under the M25 where the A41, canal &
train services pass by between Junctions 19 & 20.
It carries the Hounslow Loop service which is a stopping train that runs out of
Waterloo via Clapham Junction, Barnes and Brentford to Hounslow then returns to
Waterloo via Twickenham, Richmond and Clapham Junction. Or vice versa. Plus
some slightly longer distance trains to destinations including Weybridge and
the occasional Reading service.
If you're so good at identifying obscure little lines, Martin--then what about
the branch line that splits from its larger cousin to run through Gladstone
Park in Cricklewood & Dudding [as opposed to Dudden] Hill Junction [according
to the signal box anyway] before entering the massive complex near Staples
Corner, that I believe used to be one of the biggest marshalling yards in
Europe when I was a kid?
That line runs right past my boyhood home--it would be great to see *that* from
a train!
Incidentally, unless I now 'copy & paste', clicking on 'reply' causes my reply
to carry on across the screen ad infinitum. Just one more shortcoming of these
crap library computers.
