Presumably Watford Junction - St Albans and Marston Vale (Bedford -
Bletchley). Although these are, AIUI, part of Silverlink County, they share
stock with Silverlink Metro (150s on Marston Vale and GOBLIN - Gospel Oak -
Barking, while I've lost track of what currently operates St Albans Abbey -
is it 313s, or are 150s used despite the wires?)

313s, or if there's a shortage of them 321s are used.

It's probably the passengers on the North London line that stink of
sick, and various substances. It's one of the few lines where I'd
honestly say I would never dream of venturing near at night (or in the
dark) and I think I'm a man of the world that's quite streetwise.

I can't recall ever seeing a ticket check because any RPI would have to
go kitted out in full body armour - or carry their own weapons. And
this was my opinion long before the murder and the subsequent
revelation that the CCTV cameras are completely useless.

When I last used the service to go to ExCeL, the train waited at
Stratford and I saw kids jumping over the barriers and fencing to get
on the train and the staff just watched. What are they going to do,
even though they had oodles of time to radio for assistance (the train
stopped there for a few minutes).
