Currently this is not even remotely rare track of course, as this is

This started on 2st September and is due to end on 16 November.

Due to service disruption, the Primrose Hill train I took a couple of
weeks ago left from the Special Platform at Highbury, and ran on the
freight lines to Camden Road, non-stopping Caledonian Road. No train
regularly does both bits of rare track - though you can currently ride
on the freight lines every Sunday, normally Highbury-Gospel Oak.


I didn't know about the Sunday 'rare track'. Am I reading you right in
thinking that the Mon-Sat Stratford to Gospel Oak train only run
between H&I and Gospel Oak on sundays (hence the use of the H&I
special platform on Sundays to reverse)?


Is rebuilding the Canal Market the council's responsibility? It's
privately owned.


My thoughts exactly, though I wasn't 100% sure of it's ownership so I
didn't comment earlier. It's silly to bash the council out of reflex
without when it's not their responsibility, and it's also silly to
assume everything is the responsibility of local councils. Perhaps the
whole matter is in the domain of the insurers at the mo, hence the
slow progress - but that's just supposition, I'm not up on the matter.
