What would it take to bring the station back into use, apart from
train service? Would it be better to rebuild Primrose Hill station
from scratch?


Well, all that's usefully left is a platform. (The roadside building
is a restaurant, I think - I was referring mainly to the canopy,
though I thought perhaps wrongly that there was a building under
that). I just found it (like wartime Euxton ROF in Lancashire which
has gone, though it is being replaced by a newly built station at some
stage, I think quite soon) fascinating - a dead station, but otherwise
almost intact.

I suspect if reopening was justified, building something on the in-use
DC line to Euston would be better. But there are plenty of other
transport options from the area, so it'd probably be pointless.
