Ex-Stagecoach London Routemaster RML 2748 seen on the left of the Richmond branch of the District Line west of Turnham Green station at 17:32. It was then used as a playbus back then but it looked very sorry for itself with its engine removed and all four of its tyres let down. It is now used as a welcome bus at the Liquid Leisure Water Park near Windsor.

Fascinating! Many thanks….especially for taking us into the depot! Excellent videography too…I’ve seen other videos of the Northern Lone but this one made my me fully appreciate the incredible engineering and the infrastructure behind this railway. I come from a SR 3rd rail background so it was interesting to see the extra complications of the fourth rail. Even though this video was obviously made during off peak times it’s surprising just how busy the Northern Line is. I’ve subscribed and look forward to many more of the same. Northfields used to be just a busy stretch if the North Circular Road (best avoided!) …but not any more., best wishes and thanks again, Rob in Bournemouth, Dorset.

Shed leads provide traction current in the shed roads, the idea is the leads can “ follow” the train as it is moved from the unpowered shed road back onto the current rails. Usually sets booked for service would be left with the front unit parked back on the juice and a shed lead left in the rear. Woe betide the driver who forgets to check if there is still a lead in the receptical box on the rear unit and drags it out of the roof as he “pulls up” ready to leave the depot

For a short period the piccadilly trains ran on the district line tracks (some problem with the district line maybe I don't know) because between earls court and acton their routes are the same. The trains would have accessed the district line platforms at earls court via points further down the line where the district and piccadilly run side by side
