Hi all,

Due to electrical supply problems, the North London Line trains to and from
Stratford / North Woolwich are diverted via the Primrose Hill "curve" and
South Hampstead and are terminating at Willesden Junction Low Level.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

D'oh. Why does this ALWAYS happen when I can't get there?

Grrrrrrr, mutter, mutter, mutter, tries to think of a way to make this
happen again when next in London......

Out of interest, what is special about this, why would people want to
see it and what is a trackbasher?

If you need to ask, you don't need to know!

That was friendly. A bit like the way Twitchers see Bird Watchers or vice
versa.

Trackbasher - From http://www.geocities.com/nrc36/bp/tspot.htm

"'Trackbashers' are a strange and dedicated breed whose aim is to travel
over every inch of track on the railway system, including loops, points,
sidings and crossovers."

Thus the section known as Primrose Hill 'curve' is little used and therefore
has to be 'bashed'.

OK.

The only interesting thing I've managed to do was the reverse at Bethnal
Green when they were running test trains after Chancery Lane last year.
I found it quite exciting (apart from the running through the train bit)
so I can see the attraction. Sadly, I didn't get to walk to the points,
which I'd really have enjoyed...

Cleared at 0750 - though it took a long time for the 'Cleared' report to be
posted on the NR website.

Take a bedsheet with you and throw it at the OHLE so it wraps round a wire.
That's what stopped the WCML for an hour or so the other evening - the sheet
blew off a nearby washing line!

Once upon a time, Martin Underwood spake thus:

Oh great, so now the security services are going to start arresting
anyone who goes near a railway while carrying a bedsheet as a potential
terrorist with a weapon of mass disruption?
