Reversing Siding
"The Starlight Express" a London Transport railtour using the preserved seven car 1938 stock (11012, 12027, 01256, 10012, 11291, 012371, 10291) in the reversing siding at Harrow and Wealdstone on the Bakerloo Line, as a Newspaper train heads south on the WCML, its eight tracks wide at this very point.
Included in this seven car train is driving car 10012 which was the first to be delivered and the first to enter passenger service in May 1938.
Due to the poor condition of the track in these reversing sidings the LMR's Civil Engineer had decided that a loaded passenger train should not access these sidings due to a recent minor derailment in them.
