Thanks, John, for wasting an hour and a half of my time yesterday! ;-)
FYI, virtually all of the NLL services are continuing to use the

westbound
High Level platform at Willesden Junction to reverse. Only the first two
trains of the day start from Low Level and one late night train

terminates
at Low Level. Otherwise it is, effectively, business as usual from the

High
Level platforms (all trains arriving/departing from the westbound

platform).

Are you saying that there were trains from Willesden Junction to Clapham
Junction and/or Richmond ? Throughout the day LBC was saying that there

were
no trains running on these lines.


The derailment was in the eastbound platform at Willesden Junction High
Level. On Monday the North Woolwich service was diverted to the bay platform
at Low Level, and Willesden Junction - Clapham Junction and Willesden
Junction to Richmond Silverlink services were suspended.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the North Woolwich service reversed in the
westbound platform at High Level. Silverlink ran an hourly shuttle service
between Clapham Junction and Olympia (supplementing the Southern service
which seems to have run as normal), and provided a bus service between
Willesden Junction and Gunnersbury.
Willesden - North Woolwich has been running at 20 minute intervals,
supplemented, at least on Tuesday and Wednesday by a peak hour shuttle
between Stratford and Highbury & Islington, presumably using the AC line
between Dalston Kingsland and Highbury, as it has not been stopping at
Canonbury.
NWR today (Thursday).
