I just caught site of a 67 heading away from Waterloo at the back of a
train. I couldn't see how long the train was or what the coaches were.
Any ideas?

Fascinating. That's very rare. Was it headed towards Southport, or in
the Liverpool direction?

Or Clapham Junction.

IIRC it's just "Clapham" now that the line to Low Gill has gone...

Clapham has a High Street???

Just checked on Streetmap.co.uk.  No High Street.

I could point out that there are rather a lot of Claphams listed, apart
from the one whose station was the Junction for Low Gill and Tebay.  

There's even one in the London area!        <g>

Exactly. The station now named Clapham High Street used to be named Clapham.
Presumably changed to avoid confusion with Clapham (North Yorkshire). It is
located at Clapham High Street. See

Dear OP. Please dont worry about these responses. It isn't always like
this.....

It was probably on the back of a Charter train.

Apart from 37's, in the last 10 years I've seen more steam engines at
Waterloo than actual locos. Odd time of the day for a charter.

Except that the station is actually in Wandsworth

Err, no.  I don't think that there's a "Wandsworth" in that part of
Yorkshire.  

Never assume that everybody knows which station is being talked about.
Waterloo was mentioned, and London Waterloo was assumed, but for no good
reason - there is a station called Waterloo on the Northern Line (of
Merseyrail, naturally!).

There is a station called Waterloo on the Northern Line (of LUL) which
connects with the National Rail stations called LondonWaterloo and London
Waterloo East.

Peter

I've 67s at Waterloo several times in the last year with the NR track 
testing train.

Indeed there is, but I was certain that wasn't the one referred to by
the OP. 67's wouldn't fit in the tunnels.

I know. There's a schematic diagram of the LUL network somewhere on this
computer...I think!  <g>
