I think that during Easter weekend a lot of rail work will be taking
place at Clapham Junction.
Many services are being diverted.
I am sure I read somewhere that some passenger trains will use the
line that goes from Clapham Junction to Wimbledon via East Putney.
As far as I know National Rail does not normally use this line for
trains carrying passengers it would be nice to use this opportunity to
ride the line. (The District line uses shares it after East Putney).
Does anyone know what services, if any, are being diverted on this
route during the Easter break?
Thanks

This route is used at least twice every day by National Rail trains -
it just happens late or very early in the day.
See the entry under "Point Pleasant Junction - East Putney":

A check today on SWT's journey planner shows a 6 tph frequency Wimbledon -
Clapham Junction & return on Saturday.

I had a return journey Wimbledon - CJ too. There are definitely 6 SWT ph
most hours, 2 tph each to/from Woking, Shepperton, and Basingstoke/Alton
(splitting). There also seemed to be alternating LU trains so up to12 tph
in each direction?
