As i clicked send I realised thats too open to mis-interpretation.

I mean a normal scheduled train, not a heritage event or open day
working or crankex.

A bog standard normal service.

And since London Transport and its successors have existed?

I am struggling, but still whirring of the brian.

On Steam on the Met 1993 (IIRC) the green 121 Bubblecar was used as
Chesham Branch Shuttle. But that doesn't count.

Otherwise, there was this:

Or are we talking DEL 120?

Indeed. Not that.

Normal timetabled passenger train.

Similarly, on 20th May 1995, after working in on a railtour (Hertfordshire -
"The Pinner Pieman") from Waterloo, a 3H DEMU was used on the branch in
place of the A stock. The other unit of the pair stabled at Watford Met all
day with an additional Chalfont to Watford Met service used to get the
branch unit back to Watford in time for the return tour run.

I remember well the thrash from a pair of 3Hs on the non-stop run from
Watford Met up to Aylesbury!

Hey, I was on that trip! And I rode the DEMU on the branch, too.
It's the only time I've been on a railfan special in the UK.

I can hear a strange whirring on the wind.

I am at the extremes of exceptions to prove rules here but what I
refer to was definitely not a heritage/crankex working, but a normal
timetabled train, but booked to be diesel operated.

Hint: technically it could be done today the vehicles of the right
types are still about )

Good point.

Not the one I am thinking of though.

Well, the only place I can think where diesel trains currently run in
passenger service on LT lines is Harrow to Amersham. Have there been
occasions where additional services have been run by/on behalf of LT/
TfL, eg during works?
