Trackbashers alert: Primrose Hill NOW!
 

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......

Actually, I did this some seven or eight years ago. But thanks anyway.

BTW Have you been down the eastern end of Aspen Way in Docklands yet?

No, I'm busy 24/7 these days, but I am due a few days off next week, so I
might go there and see how they are getting on.

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!

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!

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

Is Primrose Hill station in a reasonable state these days, or has it just
crumbled? It's been a long time since I passed by on the mainline, but it
looked untouched and undisturbed for ages. Have the vandals done much damage
yet?

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.
