Passing at Parsons Green 2011-04-25--046
Two six-car trains of London Underground C Stock pass at Parsons Green on the District Line Wimbledon branch. On the left, DM car 5550 brings up the rear of a Wimbledon - Edgware Road service, while on the right 5587 leads an Edgware Road - Wimbledon service.
Although the District Line was worked mostly by D Stock, D Stock trains were not permitted to operate between High Street Kensington and Edgware Road (and around the north side of the Circle Line) - hence the "Wimbleware Line" was operated by C Stock, in a common fleet with those used on Circle Line and Hammersmith and City Line services. As a result, the route maps inside C Stock trains showed the Circle Line, Hammersmith and City Line, and the Wimbledon - Edgware Road route of the District Line, while those inside D Stock trains showed all of the District Line except the line to Edgware Road.
