Units stabled there? Is that overnight then in the bay platform (3) or elsewhere in close proximity to the station? (Cockshute)

I think the first one north is formed by a Picc starter, so no at the moment. Though non-COVID there is one that stables.

Queens Park station too

Queen’s Park added to Bakerloo.

LO at Camden CS is an odd one, as there’s a unit diagrammed into there on Friday nights and out on Monday morning, however upon checking further I see the path is a run as required, which seems to be associated with the unadvertised shuttles from Clapham to Shepherd’s Bush. What is the purpose of these services?

A couple of other amendments. Girvan has been removed from ScotRail as it’s clear the trains run from/to Ayr. Also Polmadie DHS added for AWC.

There's one LO booked into Camden CS on Friday nights and out on Monday mornings, though it's run as required so may not run in practice.

As far as the up side goes, nothing booked that I can see - unless anyone knows different?!

Birmingham Snow Hill sidings are used for overnight stabling as a contingency. The sidings where used every night for 1 unit during full lock down and used as a replacement for Taxi journeys to Tyseley for the first few drives and guards to book on.

In the 3 years of commuting into Euston I have never seen a Overground train in Camden. It's only been 350s and 319s. It's normally empty over the weekend, apart from the past couple of weeks where a solo 319 has been dumped looking sorry for itself.

Nothing booked for the Up side, duds are dumped there on occasion.

I can't spot if it's been mentioned yet, but some diagrams may see trains may work throughout the night and spend their day on maintenence in the depot. The obvious case is routes with overnight services, but there's also the possibility of working the final service of one day and then the first of the following.

This *should* be taken into account, as overnight workings still tend to work from or to a stabling point at some point. The GTR overnight services should certainly be taken into account on my list.

The list essentially covers overnight berthing only, or as you mentioned daytime berthing for overnight services. Inter-peak berthing is not included, though there probably aren’t many examples of stabling points which are used inter-peak but not overnight. Camden Carriage Sidings seems to be one such example, in this case for LNwR.

Incidentally the current timetable includes overnight berthing for TfW at Aberdare, Merthyr and Pontypridd. I presume this is temporary as part of the metro conversion works.

The TFW berthing is only because of Metro work restricting normal movements

Do any any TOCs have (or had pre-COVID) units stabled in or around stations as 'hot spares' in order to cover diagrams in instances of service disruption? I know XC and VT used to stable units in the 3 centre sidings at Birmingham New Street for this purpose.

The ARL set shown at Camden is a 710/3 which aren’t in traffic yet nor anytime soon so it’s just cancelled, won’t be one in there.

Northern quite often have a unit or two stabled at Middlesbrough station in the sidings at the Saltburn end of the station during the day.

Trains have to be fuelled too, that makes it a bit more complicated. How many miles do diesel trains typically do on a full tank?

According to the traction manual for 158/159 stock each coach has a 400 gallon tank or 1818 Ltr. £2500 at the filling station...

The manual also says that that is enough fuel to travel Waterloo to Exeter and back twice over. Which is 688 miles exactly. Guess their is spare in there for shunting and idling at terminus. Still an mpg of 1.7...
An example of how far a 158/159 can do on a full tank shown here, but it varies by train. Quote from (can't do proper quoting even though through the multiquote as the thread is closed) and more information at:

As well as stabling them in platforms, there are:

Platforms which in the normal course of events are only used for stabling, plus the services that enable this.

Things which look like platforms and may even be numbered as such, but which see no passenger services and which in some cases aren't fit to take passenger services.

I believe that the station I grew up nearest (Stirling) has examples of both.

It appears that Platform 2 at Exeter St Davids is only used for the first train to and last train back from Barnstable, with the rest running through (plus whatever this service is https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H09923/2021-02-11/detailed - I'm guessing it's an Network Rail train?)

Was that at night or during the day
Day time. I was not trying to suggest that it was a stabling point, just that the platform is used more than people think. I have also seen the summer sunday Okehampton service use that platform as well.

Trains are diagrammed to stable in the station (platforms), but will be taken to the depot for fuelling on an as-required basis. No maintenance is done.

Same goes for Scarborough I believe.
I believe Scarborough will see an empty station on a night as the TMD will take the two Novas. Northern no longer have the outstabling at Scarborough
