The morning one must be the train that terminates at Shepherd's Bush
at 09:37 (though I'm curious where it goes until 10:12 - is North Pole
open?).


No - North Pole is most definitely closed. Could it possibly recess
somewhere in the vicinity of Willesden Jn?


It could, but the 09.37 will return at 09.42. I assume that it will
run back ECS, when the 09.42 gets to Clapham Junction at 09.55.

*The afternoon working becomes the 17:00 Kensington-CLJ. Also
it's timetabled 18 minutes to travel 4 miles non-stop. It makes the 14
minutes Shepherd's Bush - Wembley Central (5 miles) *journey look
fast.


Nice big long stop somewhere on the 'Ludgate Lines' I guess. Freight
trains can often be seen waiting for a path down there.


Quite likely, the Christmas / New Year services hung about there too.
