All trains to West Ruislip leave from Marylebone – except the 11.36 from Paddington (Mondays to Fridays only). The train arrives in Paddington from South Ruislip, having left there at 11.02.
This is one of the so-called “Parliamentary” or “ghost” trains – services which have been reduced to a bare minimum, without closing the service, so as to avoid the costs associated with closure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_train .
This train does, however, also serve the purpose of maintaining the route knowledge of Chiltern Railways drivers, enabling the company to divert services to Paddington in case Marylebone is closed for engineering or other reasons.
Over the past few years, this train has started in Princes Risborough (2006), started in Gerrards Cross and returned to Princes Risborough (2007), gone from Paddington to High Wycombe only (2010), started from and returned to Gerrards Cross (2011), and started in Gerrards Cross and returned to West Ruislip (2012).
