Well, my mistake in counting four keys, my only excuse is I was in
a moving crowd on the platform at the time.


I realised today that I had miscounted a run of 6 keys as 5, with no such
excuse!

We'll have to see how long it takes to replace the missing ones.


Any news about Edgeware Road yet.......................


I was there this afternoon, and the track is still in the same state,
namely a total of 15 missing keys on the rail nearest the platform in
Platform 3, Edgware Road, including this sequence (corrected from previous
version):

o K o K o o o K o K|K o K K K K|K K o o o K K K o

where K=key, o=missing key, |=rail joint.

It's now 5 days since I reported it to the station supervisor. Can
JDickseun advise whether a temporary speed limit would be expected for such
a sequence, and if so what speed? (The normal limit here is probably only
15-20 mph.)
