NR trains don't normally run from Putney to Wimbledon, though. Don't

IIRC, NR trains went through there on occasion just to facilitate
placing rolling stock in position.

There's a couple of odd-hours Waterloo-Wimbledon (and beyond, and vice
versa) services routed via Point Pleasant Junction/East Putney. The
line is also used for ECS moves, diversionary moves, and for access
to/ from Wimbledon depot.

AFAICT there are 3 passenger services, and about 10 ECS moves in the
diagrams for a normal weekday, which is more than I expected. I think there
are 4 or 5 down direction ECS moves after the morning peak, so I imagine
daytime travellers on the District will be familiar with the main line
trains passing through.

Passenger services for those interested:
0454 Basingstoke to Waterloo
0042 (FX) Waterloo to Strawberry Hill
0105 Waterloo to Southampton
