Description 1972 Stock at Kilburn High Road 1.jpg | London Underground trains do not pick up or drop off passengers at Kilburn High Road railway station. The station appears on internal London Underground (LU) maps as it is used as a reversing point by Bakerloo Line trains when they are unable to enter the LU platforms at Queens Park station due to scheduled work or failures and/or are prevented from reversing in the Up DC line platform there; the fourth rail (bonded to the traction current return rail) continues to Kilburn High Road to permit these manoeuvres but the carrying of passengers to Kilburn High Road by LU tube trains is not permitted as the platform height is matched to NR trains (platforms on this line north of Queens Park station are positioned at a "transition" height which is higher than that for normal LU platforms and lower than NR platforms). There are also one or two "rusty rail" journeys made by LU trains each day to keep the fourth rail clean for the relatively infrequent unscheduled diverted LU trains. This image shows a unit of London Underground 1972 Stock on one of these movements. | ||||||||
