| Very early on 6th November 2017 a South Western Railway Class 450 'Desiro' train derailed outside Wimbledon station. This was a low-speed incident and only one bogie came off the rails. The train was working one of the few SWR services to be routed via East Putney and was on LUL-owned track at the time. Because of this, the rerailing exercise was led by LUL, with quite a few service vehicles in attendance. Seen in the Waitrose car park the following morning was Emergency Response Unit tender 2609. The additional fleetnumber (B881) towards the rear of the cab shows that this is one of the five tenders delivered in British Transport Police livery. Since the livery-specific elements are on removable panels they can be switched as required. When seen, 2609 was in TfL/ERU livery, apart from the front offside cab door, which was still in BTP yellow/blue. Comparison with this photo shows how it should appear. The train (450 025) is visible in the background. |
