Thanks guys for the information.
Today Good Friday, I have been riding the line in both directions,
there seem to be plenty of trains possibly 4 an hour in each
direction. Just get a train from platform 6 at Clapham Junction that
is going next stop Wimbledeon. At Wimbledeon get a Waterloo train with
Clapham Juntion as the first stop.
They did announce on one train that it would be going through East
Putney.
Nice views from the train as travels up alongside the Windsor/ Reading
lines, before branching of to East Putney, then straight through
Southfields and Wimbledeon Park.
District line trains also running on line.
Will be back tommorow to take some photos from East Putney station.
This is a rare opportunity to see frequent service by Network Rail
along this line.

Does that part of LUL have AWS (I don't recall seeing it when I was down
there.)? If not, then whar sort of safety back up are SWT trains using on
that segment, lower speeds? AFAIK, SWT trains are not equipped with
tripcocks.


At the risk of restarting an old thread, although there are tripcocks for LU
trains, the line is still signalled and owned by Network Rail, so I believe
that's why mainline trains don't need tripcocks.

Its possible there isn't AWS - perhaps that explains the 30 mph limit?
