Default Trackbashers alert ( was Greenford Branch - two collisions today?)

It seems that a lot of damage was done to signalling
equipment, and the line will remain closed 'for several days.'
Meanwhile the Greenford service is being run as an
hourly shuttle between Hayes & Harlington and Greenford,
using the Hanwell - Drayton Green side of the triangle,
which does not normally have a passenger service.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

There is a certain amount of freight on this branch too. The
Brentford bins to Calvert come this way AFIAA and, if they are still
running, the ctrl spoil trains from KX to Calvert. Any information on
these available?

The Brentford binliner runs to Appleford (just north of Didcot),
not Calvert.

and, if they are still running, the ctrl spoil trains from
KX to Calvert.


There is only one trains a day from KX to Calvert - the other
runs to Forders, on the Bedford to Bletchley line.

There is also a daily Freightliner Binliner (!) from Dagenham
to Calvert.

Any information on these available?


Absolutely - High Wycombe is one of almost 100 constantly
updated freight timetables on Freightmaster Online:

Thanks for clearing up the detail. There will be another flow
starting soon which will be twice-daily stone trains to Gerrards Cross
from, I think, Acton - and the return empties, of course. They will
not feature in the High Wycombe table.
