Service Train at Colindale
 

On Sunday a service train was on the Northbound platform at Colindale.
It looked quite different from the usual trains, and there were
computers, desks and things like that inside - plus a guy who looked
fairly busy.

I know the NL was messed up on Saturday, but I've never seen a mobile
office of this kind before. Someone here must know all about them,
though!

Track recording train?

Depends. The Track Recording Train was stabled in Highgate Depot on Sunday
afternoon, however if the sighting was morning or evening then it would be
very likely to be the TRT on the basis that it was on the Northern Line on
that day.

It was about 10am.

What does the TRT do?

Record the state of the track?

Basically, there are lasers and cameras and alike that can check the track
for internal cracking.

That figures, as it was in Highgate at about 1430-1500.

See reply from Mr. Mayes!

I was told it was probably a track recording train, but none of the
pictures i was pointed at looked anything like it.

CONSPIRACY!

The picture in the link looked like the thing I saw... shorter than a
regular train.

I think it was two carriages.

Maybe that's what it was, then. Maybe i was thrown by the fact that in the
photo, it's hooked up to some big NR cars, whereas when we saw it, it was
hooked up to tube cars.

Or maybe you're part of the conspiracy too.
