Notes:
(1) Booked route after Camden Road was South Hampstead - Willesden Junction main
line - Acton Wells Jn.
John Clifford comments : We were booked to run from Camden Road to Acton Wells via Willesden No. 7 with a reversal there. For some reason lost in the mists of time we were diverted round the North London line. There had been a booked crew change at Willesden No. 7 which was altered to Willesden Junc High Level. Just one small problem - nobody had told the new crew! We sat at the High Level for 27 minutes thus disrupting the North London line electric service.
