Well not exactly a mile - but rare. This is the temporary Overground
route from South Hampstead to Camden Road via Primrose Hill. The train
usually crawl through Primrose Hill and the old station can be easily
seen (albeit through the grime of the train windows). It appears to be
complete but somewhat covered in grafiti. Travelling back and forth
some photos can be taken of both sides of this island station.

The route also allows a bird's eye view of the devastation caused to
Camden Market this year.

This includes the damage caused by the fire at Camden Lock Market,
including the total lack of progress by Camden Council to do anything
about clearing away and repairing the damaged site. This is typical
procrastination from a Council that obviously doesn't care about the
livelihoods of the market traders and shop owners.

However the surprising other view of the Camden Market is the extent
of the devastation caused by the property developers in tearing down
the old Horse Stables and Tunnels at the other end of the Market. This
demolition and rebuiding into glass fronted office blocks will change
forever the ambiance of what remains of the Market. Indeed the
deliberate demolition by the property developers of these historic
buildings is FAR FAR worse than that caused by the fire on the other
side.
