Obviously you're familiar with "copenhagen junction" and "belle isle". I've
never heard of them and have no idea where they are.

That looks like it was a fun day out. Did the graffiti vandals do requests?

You probably know them, so why don't you ask?

Christ almighty, you didn't even *try* to convince Spud they'd built a
new viaduct from Potters Bar to Worcester Park.

In the "Willesden Junction to Finsbury Park" thread, I linked to a
YouTube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GY7BbHkkTQ -
which displays captions as to the locations being passed.
Copenhagen Junction is one of those. Belle Isle is name
given to the short space between the first two tunnels passed
through by trains leaving Kings Cross.

Indeed!

I notice it's shown as a 365, but presumably it's more likely to be a
class 700 in reality?

Indeed what? Is knowing the precise junction layouts of the various lines
a prerequsite of being able to discuss this?
