Willesden Junction To Finsbury Park
I have only two uses for You Tube and one of them is watching cab view videos of train journeys. I find these fascinating and a recent upload is especially interesting.

I like cricket and there is a lot of very good old cricket footage. |

Indeed; Sturgeon's Revelation applies: 90% of *everything* is crap, so "90% of (YouTube, science fiction, movies, modern art, whatever) is crap" is uninformative and does nothing to help us judge the merit or otherwise of the genre in question. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law |

Yes, indeed, via the Copenhagen Junction. Do freight trains that need to traverse the NLL to reach the ECML from UP WCML as a rule travel via the Harringay West Curve? |

the Harringay curve. From Gospel Oak, the route via Harringay West is more direct. |

Do freight trains that need to traverse the NLL to reach the ECML from UP WCML as a rule travel via the Harringay West Curve?- The North London incline is the preferred route, surely? The main advantage of the Harringay curve is direct access to Ferme Park sidings. As part of GOBLIN electrification, the masts are in place on the Harringay curve. From Gospel Oak, the route via Harringay West is more direct. Little if any freight is electric-hauled anyway so directness is clearly only one consideration as to whether a route is used. What's the ruling gradient on the Harringay curve route? -- Colin Rosenstiel |

that chord so it is used at least sometimes. On the other hand, the rails on the North London Incline are so clean and bright that it is obviously used more than occasionally. It's possible of course that both routes are used depending on train paths and conflicting movements etc. |
