Due to a derailment at Willesden Junction, the North London Line will be
running only between North Woolwich and Willesden Junction Low Level via
Gospel Oak until further notice. This uses a line between Kensal Rise

and
Willesden Junction Low Level which is normally only served at the

extremes
of the day. There will be no service between Willesden Junction and

Clapham
Junction at all.

See http://www.silverlink-trains.com/ for latest.


Any details on this derailment? Do we know cause?


Hi All,

I popped over to Willesden on the way home from work tonight... At 23:30 and
saw the following. 66142 on the northern high level bridge (eastbound?) One
wagon is currently over the main WCML, one over the depot lines both of
these look fairly upright. Over the depot road entrance there is a wagon
looking very much off the rails. Then there is another wagon on the rails
adjacent to the platform, coupled to this is 67015. Three carriages from the
Old Oak Common breakdown train are in attendance with 67012 (probably - it
was quite dark) on the other end.
I did also note, when driving past, a lot of rail related vans at Kensal
Green station and workmen with OLE isolating clips and the like.
I think it is going to be a long night in the Willesden Area! Just a shame I
didn't bother taking a camera to work today (
