Default London Tubes: Unexpected locations of underground trains

I wonder if they employ trippers on that stretch or if they fit the
test trains with AWS.

I've seen the tube trains under test at Old Dalby (last time I drove up
to the East Midlands a month ago). Unfortunately there wasn't anywhere
convenient for me to stop to take a photo.

The other odd thing about the line is the OHL a long way from any
electrified service lines. https://goo.gl/maps/Q70Uo

I doubt they use either trips or AWS as it's a self-contained test
track. To get to and from they are dragged by a diesel loco.
