Does anyone have the list of rail replacement codes (i.e. ULxx)?
I believe someone posted a video here before with the codes in the description but I can't seem to find it

Hello all. Just a question about tomorrows SWR rail replacement. Where do buses pick up at Wimbledon? From past experience, it's usually stop "Alexandra Road/Wimbledon Station" stop B towards Surrey/Outer Londkn and stop "Alexandra Road/Wimbledon Station" stop A towards Earlsfield/Clapham Junction

Photographed yesterdays District & Piccadilly replacements west of Hammersmith along Chiswick High Road ....
Regarding service ID's in the windscreens - PL & DL are obvious but could someone explain the 9xx number please ?
Nothing out of the ordinary observed just AB LT's & 94xx EN400's but managed to photograph every ML DM9xx MCV200 (at last) on the 190 during the afternoon (except DM970 which has disappeared)
Many thanks

DM970 is Metroline's fleetnumber for LK09EKN, according to LVF it last operated on 17/01/2021 and has not been in service since.

So I drove service BL5 between Paddington and North Acton, with a late night extension to Harrow & Wealdstone. The routeService BL5 operates between Paddington and North Acton every 6-9 minutes (an irregular 8bph) on Saturday and every 10 minutes on Sundays. Stops served are Paddington, Warwick Avenue, Maida Vale, Queen's Park, Kensal Green, Willesden Junction and North Acton (for the Central Line). The Bakerloo Line was suspended end to end. The Overground was running all weekend so covered Queen's Park to Harrow & Wealdstone. As this winds down around 2330, the BL5 was extended to and from Harrow to cover the Bakerloo Line's end of service, which is later than the Overground's. From North Acton, stations served were Harlesden, Stonebridge Park, Wembley Central, North Wembley, Preston Road, Kenton and Harrow & Wealdstone. Maps and WayfindingMaps - LINKThere were no pilots available when I started so I relied heavily on the map provided. Signposts - present in places. When I did the late trip a few weeks ago, I missed the turn from Edgware Road into Warwick Avenue despite looking out for the signpost. It's an unlikely looking right turn into a road with a 7.5t HGV restriction. There was actually a signpost - but it was tied to the traffic light pole and had dropped down to the ground so was entirely obscured by the keep left sign! The route is complex in both directions between Paddington and Maida Vale. There's no relying on signposts on the roundabouts in Paddington - the driver has to know where they are going. LoadingsI carried one passenger for the entire shift and they were travelling from Kensal Green to Queens Park. People in this part of London are observing the lockdown. Running timesAbout right between Paddington and North Acton. Approximately 10 minutes slack on the late night section from North Acton to Harrow. Vehicle ChoiceTook over on the road. First half Euro 5 E400H with a good generator. Second half a healthy Euro 5 E400. SummaryWith nobody to carry it felt a bit lonely. I'm going to change the rating of the route to difficult due to the complex routing between Paddington and Maida Vale and the series of hazards along the route, particularly in the Warwick Avenue area. Some of the kerbstones were looking very sorry for themselves. Slightly unusual addition here but I checked into a room at the Holiday Inn Express Park Royal at North Acton for my meal relief and layovers! I checked out at 1am on the way to Harrow & Wealdstone. Route difficulty rating - 3/3 (difficult) Enjoyability - 3/5 (moderate) Next route review - Stonebridge Park - Wembley Park - Stanmore
