Shuttle change-over
Metroline DE1610, YX58DWJ, and VW1275, LK12AHZ, on Wood End Lane at Northolt Park. Both vehicles have been terminated at Northolt Park but from different directions, owing to severe disruption around Hanger Lane.
DE1610 was turned at Northolt Park from Willesden Junction and VW1275 was turned from South Harrow. The traffic disruption meant that normal 487s were so late running that drivers did not have time to get to South Harrow and come back so VW1275 was drafted in as a standby spare to run a shuttle service between Northolt Park and South Harrow Station to connect passengers and provide a through service. As seen here, the passengers off the VW have just been transferred onto the DE that then formed a service to Willesden Junction.
