Route taken by Southern services between Watford Junction and Wembley Central.

Hi all,

A quick question regarding the route taken by Southern services between Watford Junction and Wembley Central.

Do they take the WCML lines (fast or slow) or the Lioness/Watford D.C. line?

Many thanks.

Slow lines. Not the DC lines.
See https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C05347/2024-09-23/detailed for example.
They then go underneath at Willesden Junction using what were once goods lines but are now passenger lines.

The changeover between third rail and OLE happens north of Shepherds Bush, around Old Oak I think, north of that they are on the overheads.
