Depot Workings (District Specific?)

[Deleted]

This topic covers both District and Rolling Stock forums but I believe it suits this forum more. Please feel free to move it.

The District WTT is available to the public now. Is there anywhere that holds information about workings at the start and end of service to and from depots? There's only a couple towards the end of service mentioned in the WTT that go up to Lillie Bridge.

Speaking circa 10 years ago, did Ealing Common and Lillie Bridge depots specialise on any stock? (for example, did Lillie Bridge only take C Stock etc?) I'm not from the area so a general overview would be brilliant.

Thanks folks.

The Working Timetable
content.tfl.gov.uk/wtt-150-district-20-may-2018.pdf
does show the workings to/from all depots and sidings.
Previously the only restrictions were that Parsons Green 29Rd and Triangle sidings could only hold C Stock.

Ealing Common did have an allocation of C Stock for a short time for stabling only but usually was D Stock only.
Lillie Bridge had a mixture of C and D Stock.
Upminster was D Stock only.
Barking and Parsons Green sidings had a mixture of C and D.
Hammersmith provided C Stock only.

10 years ago Lillie Bridge wasn’t a passenger train siding / depot it was only used by engineering vehicles

Thank you! I must have skipped past the depot workings page.
Could I possibly ask for a little help as to how to read the depot workings? I understand there's a train number, and the first time is what time it is booked to leave, either East or West bound, what's the second time for? Is there any simple way of finding the first corresponding passenger train working to the depot working without having to manually find the train number?

- “Depot working” on pages 9-11 show the time order each train leaves each depot or siding.
- “Rolling Stock Working” pages 12-17 show last the same information in purely train number order, and the depot or siding it leaves from.

Where it goes after that are contained in the main timetable pages. eg.

page 9 Depot Working, train 32 is the first train to leave Ealing Common depot at 04 40 W (towards Ealing Common). This same information can be corroborated by Rolling Stock Working page 12 and reading down to train 32.
page 18 then shows train 32 in the main timetable on its first trip to Ealing Broadway:
Depot Ealing Common 04 40
Ealing Common 04 42
Ealing Broadway platform 8 04 45
“to form” (ie next trip) 04 51.
the story continues on page 19, with its departure from Ealing at 04 51.
