Well not exactly a mile - but rare. This is the temporary Overground
route from South Hampstead to Camden Road via Primrose Hill. The train
usually crawl through Primrose Hill and the old station can be easily
seen (albeit through the grime of the train windows). It appears to be
complete but somewhat covered in grafiti. Travelling back and forth
some photos can be taken of both sides of this island station.


Currently this is not even remotely rare track of course, as this is
the path of the rerouted and conjoined NLL + DC lines services (there
are also 2tph that run on the NLL between Stratford and Gospel Oak).
This started on 2st September and is due to end on 16 November.

This route via Primrose Hill was used fairly often before this current
work started when weekend engineering works were occuring on the NLL
between Camden Road and Willesden Junction, and I dare say it will be
used again in the future. There are some plans on the table for a
regular service along this route as far as Queen's Park or Willesden
Jn LL (all connected with the notion of the Bakerloo line's re-
extension to Watford Junction and the possible withdrawal of DC lines
services to Euston), but at the moment these are just plans and are
not being progressed.
