Can anyone help

While waiting for a District line yeasterday (Saturday) at about
15.30ish at West Brompton. What came along on the NR Silverlink
platform (in service) to Willesden Junction was a 2-car diesel set from
the Barking-Gospel Oak line (Sorry... I'm not into train codes) instead
of the usual 3-car electric set. Is this unusual as I have never seen
this before. Does anyone kinow why this happened?

I do know that they had engineering works taking place on the B - GO
line yesterday


Regards

I don't know what was happening, but I was also surprised yesterday to
see one of those sets forming the 1947 departure from Olympia to Clapham
Junction (which I was trying to catch, but failed miserably to do so).

It may just have been that they were short of 313s and were taking the
opportunity to use one of the 150s that was spare from the Tottenham &
Hampstead line. They are all based at Willesden now and, although they are
not common, they do work on the West London line periodically and also into
Euston on County services in place of 321s occasionally, often early on
Sunday mornings.

I don't know, but a few weeks ago I was going from Canning Town to Camden
Road and they said something about the train needing to be diverted (I
think) to the other line afterwards. I'm not sure as I wasn't really
listening, but I do remember a lot of people getting off angrily. It didn't
affect the Canning Town to Camden Road stretch, though.

Just to let you know.......

Finished work toay at 15.30. The 25.32 West Brompton to Clapham
Junction was another Class 150. Very strange......
