That article lists the Woodgrange Park - Wilsden Junction service
as a parlimentrary one; I don't think it is. It's more of a peak
hours boost using the spare set, isn't it?

Cheers,

Why is the 6.38 SO run between WVH and WSL direct? The line is a
frieght and diversion line which is heavily used.

Why not run the above service via BHM like all the other WVH - WSL
services?

It uses a (short) stretch of line no other services use.

Because in order to no run it, or to not run it direct, they'd have to
officially close that line to passenger traffic. Avoiding this is the main
purpose of most current 'parly' trains.

Yes, absolutly. Well, no other passenger services.

However "Using track that's not often used" isn't really the definition
of a parlimentery train, IMO. A parlimentry train is one that is
run to avoid the hassle of formal clousure procedures. That service
is a peak hours congestion buster.

It could of course be a parly that unusually runs when people need it,
rather than at the most inconvenient possible time.
