Does anyone know if the rail replacement bus still runs twice a week
on theEalingBroadway toWandsworthRoad route? I think I read that
rail services were going to continue from December 2009.

A question was asked in parliament in Jan regarding this service:http://tiny.cc/fr5ig(Hansard)
I recall (from somewhere!) that the plan is to runWandsworth- KPA -Ealingaround 12:00, with a return back toWandsworthjust after
13:00. Not sure what stock or where it'll reverse etc!

The services that will put the 'ghost bus' to rest have appeared in
the timetables from 24th May as follows:

10:48 Wandsworth Road
11:11 Kensington Olympia
11:13 Shepherd's Bush
11:30 Ealing Broadway

12:07 Ealing Broadway
12:29 Shepherd's Bush
12:32 Kensington Olympia
12:50 Wandsworth Road

I'm just curious as to what stock Southern will use for this service -
seems a bit of a waste to have one of their DMUs so far off normal
territory for a good few hours. Unless dual-voltage stock is possible
for the whole route - how would it get from Ealing to Shepherd's Bush?

Ta for the gen - what a delightfully insane service. All thanks to The
Times and belatedly Passenger Focus kicking up a stink last year. They
won and this is the, er, result.

Finding a 2.171 DMU isn't a problem - there are plenty sitting idle at
Selhurst between the peaks. Same goes for any NSE-area parly running
in the off-peak.

I expect the unit will reverse on the Greenford branch.
