MAJOR SNIPPING

Am I right in reading that the line was blocked the THREE days? What
the flaming heck is the railway playing at. This sort of thing should
be able to be sorted out in 24 hours or not much longer.

The position of the derailment, over an access road to a railway site and
adjacent to the high-level station at Willesden Green and a bus station,
plus being on a tight single-line curving bridge across the WCML would make
it very difficult to "get at" the derailed wagons and remember, they were
full of ballast.
