They only have the Wimbleware part of the District on their line

They used to oddly have Olympia, even though they didn't go there as
far as I know.

I may be mistaken but I thought that there was a service from Edgware
Road to Olympia that ran for a short period of time.

In the timetable I have, it was morning rush hour only. Olympia had a 
D-stock shuttle to HSK at other times.

Which makes it fun when they end up going to Ealing, as I've seen a
couple of times. I was very surprised the first time I was getting on
the District at Chiswick Park and a C stock train turned up.

C77s were introduced to allow C stock to cover that bit of the
District, but there was never any separation of fleets.  The first C
stock on the District was C69, and the first C77 stock went into
service on the Hammersmith.
