If it's a D Stock with passengers, it's going to Richmond/Ealing, and if it's an D-Stock with considerably less passengers (sometimes, empty!) then it's an Olympia train! And don't forget that the District trains have their own DMI's on the side telling you where they're going, I always look out for those...
I'm pretty sure I was on a D stock train on the main section that was going to Wimbledon, I remember seeing Wimbledon inside the train on the electronic thingy and I could hear the hiss and clicking of the doors closing.

Geoff's statement isn't incorrect, as C stocks will only go to Wimbledon. What he neglected to say is that D stocks go from Upminster direction to Wimbledon too. Those trains will likely have many more people than an Olympia train, though!

Could someone explain to me how you could have a PARTIAL closure on W&C? Train pulling out of Bank, going halfway and then reversing back again?
Might have been going in one direction only...

Isn't there only one track on the W&C or have I gone mental again?

I thought that there were two tracks...

The line is twin tube tunnels.
