What juice rail? It was taken away long ago. Though the track' i all
still there apart from a section near Royal Victoria where they're
building the new junction.

If you use the Silvertown suggestion from the previous thread you
could kill both birds with one stone.

Making that assumption is not a good idea. Even testing it and assuming that
it won't switch on again is not a good idea.

Epping-Ongar might work:

North Weald station seems to be the westernmost point past the end of the
Central Line that is accessible and has track. Google map:

There's a bus from Epping.

The third rail has long gone. A plethora of plants and weeds was
allowed to grow along the alignment after closure (indeed quite a lot
before closure), but for some reason it was all cleared fairly
recently (perhaps to assist surveyors working fro Crossrail?).


do you know anything about access to that station?


The old entrance is boarded off. It would not be too big a deal to
scale a not very high wall to get in, but I don't recall seeing any
holes in the fences when I went past recently so it would involve a
positive effort to actually get in there. Once there you would be
fairly exposed to passing traffic on Factory Road and to an extent on
Albert Road, and there is a police station quite close by (it's down
near the Woolwich Ferry).

I can imagine it would make a good location for a shoot though, what
with the Tate & Lyle refinery in the background. You can get the DLR
to London City Airport station and it's a very short walk from there.

Streetmap still shows the course of the North London Line in these
parts:

You could go up to Mill Hill East. After the end of the platform the
track continues about 100 metres but without live rails - just the two
running tracks.

What about if the woman is already bound?

LOROL!

(Or should that exclamation actually read 'Silverlink'... no, it
doesn't quite work does it... I suspect I've thoroughly confused Mark
by now...)
