I was walking over a bridge near the central line near Hangar Lane
today which has a freight only NR line running beside it and I saw an
HST going into london on that line. Since it was empty I'm guessing it
was a stock transfer but where has it come from and where is it going?

This is usually Paddington - Paddington via Greenford to turn the train,
maybe because a power car has a defect, or to get it the right way round
again after a previous occasion.


Or it could be driver training for Virgin's Blockbuster (IIRC) service.
