Travelling into Fenchurch Street earlier today, I was idly wondering about the short section of line that, travelling eastbound from Fenchurch Street, branches off to the left (north) just east of Limehouse station, thus permitting a direct routeing from Fenchurch Street into Stratford. I don't know if there are any regular passenger or ECS moves that run over this line, and I've not done it.
So I was fairly pleased, on arriving into Fenchurch Street, to see posters up saying that tomorrow there is engineering work at East Ham, so ALL eastbound services from Fenchurch Street will be diverted via Stratford, so will use this bit of line! Guess what I shall be doing tomorrow...
Anyway, for all you track bashers out there, I assume this IS a rare bit of track, and so I hope this is useful info - unless, as has happened before, someone else has beaten me to it!
