PLEASE NOTE: Willesden Depot is private property and you will not be admitted by just turning up. This visit has taken careful planning with the relevant authorities to enable it to go ahead.
Thanks are due to both Virgin West Coast, and Alstom Transport for making this section possible. Special thanks for the visit are due to Eddie at Alstom for intial arrangements, Jim at Willesden for depot arrangements, and Bob at Willesden for escorting me around during the actual visit.
