Wow, how long ago was that?

@@martinking7390 I think about. 1984

Have a look at when this was posted, 3 years ago! 720’s we’re a way away at that time.

By freight train.

@@martinking7390 Interesting but passengers cannot travel that route, was in Chalk Farm an hour ago and could see part of the route from the Iron Bridge...

Excellent, enjoy

Thanks mate, I'll be over there this week to try and get some cab rides. May see you about if you're on there this week? (I work for Colas)

@@clivewhiting2240 I’m over there tomorrow and Tuesday, 20:56 over and back, both days 🤷🏻‍♂️

I can only think either the track is damaged or they know it’s highly unlikely to ever be used, or they may want to use that area to re route track. I just chose any old music to cover the audio on the recording.

Tolerance with?

@@martinking7390 The way he was being spoken too. If it was you, nicely handled.

@@jeremywilcox so I was route learning, the guy making all the stupid comments was talking about people like me, new to the job (at that time) he was a complete pr1ck. But he who laughs last…he had a spad at Acton yard, was breathalysed and found to be 5 times over the limit…oh how I laughed.

@@martinking7390 Sounded like he was in the same state by the way he was talking to you. Talk about welcoming you to the job.... Still in it? Your vidios are certainly a reminder of how was - belated thanks.

@@jeremywilcox he’s long gone, and good riddance, drink drive limit is way lower on the railway to on the road, I’m still on the railway but pass work now. 👍🏻

Not sure what you’re asking, this is from Stratford to Gospel Oak.

@@martinking7390 Around 2002 there was an Anglia service ( Crosslink ) from Basingstoke to Norwich via Woking / Addlestone / Staines / Syon Park / Willesden Junction / Gospel Oak ( your exact video route ! ) Stratford / Ingatestone and off to Norwich ... I remember that it took ages going through Dalston / Homerton ! ! ... but a great day out with lots of new and unfamiliar scenery ... hope that explains my comments ( ? ) ....

@@davidfalconer8913 way before my days on the railway, I drove freight over that route (gospel oak) to Acton. I’m now pass with GA at Southend Victoria.

Not sure what Network Rail do with it, it’s likely to stay there and rot.

​@@martinking7390Do you not drive both routes from Southend Vic then ? And Do the Conductor's not CD and RA on this route ? Many thanks ?

It varies, sometimes you can go a few weeks from going over there, other times it seems you’re always over there, we have one job that’s 5 trips, I get rid of that at every opportunity.

@@kojo8770 both routes? Sov drivers do Vic to London, then add in Braintree and Southminster. And no, no cd/ra.

Quite simply I selected any old random music to cover the in cab chat, if only you had a mute button

The whole purpose of the video 👍🏻

That’s the gsmr, sometimes the loose the connection, that’s it reconnecting

@@martinking7390 oh ok thank you

Hit the mute button

04:50 Chalk Farm/Primrose Hill 1992 10:45 Loudoun Road 11:45 Kilburn & Maida Vale now Kilburn High Road 12:43 Queens Park West Kilburn? Has modern building on Platform 3. Station not closed. Has anyone got better clues?

Huh?

Between Battlesbridge and North Fambridge it’s 60, everywhere else it’s 50 👍🏻

Primrose Hill.

I have an even better idea, mind your own business and either watch the video or don’t, the primary reason to upload was to aid route learners, and not entertain the great unwashed

Well hit the fucking mute button then

Unwatchable 🤦🏻‍♂️

G Roberts I’ll do it again just for you, not 🙄

Ok. Act like a child and don't accept suggestions. If you wonder why people won't watch it there may be a clue in the comments.

to be fair your comment wasn't a suggestion it was rudely demanding martin king to make another video of the same route

Jacob Hardy to the critics, watch it or don’t watch it I don’t give a 🤬 tbh. I put it up for people to enjoy, if they don’t then would be best to keep their gobs shut. I drive trains for a living, I’m not a videographer.

G Roberts I couldn’t give a 🤬 if you watch it or not, enjoy it or not. Way more people seem to have enjoyed it so hey ho

Hi Nathan, this has just popped up for me, did I respond?

@@martinking7390 no problem, I get that all of the time. No, I don’t recall getting a response

@@LittlewoodJunction message me your email

And yes I’m a driver for GA

It is highly unlikely to happen anytime soon To the best of my knowledge there are no active plans to even consider reopening it, nor to provide a passenger service along this route It last saw a passenger train in September 1992 when the liverpool street to Watford junction service was withdrawn and as the station was only served by this service, it was closed People have proposed a willesden junction to Camden road shuttle but it's not been given any consideration, and with chalk farm underground nearby, I think traffic levels would be too low

not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last months xD

@@felipevalentin5025 I have got blue boxers on if anybody gives a damm

@Felipe Valentin yea, I've been using instaflixxer for years myself :)

With Chalk Farm Station on the Northern line nearby, it could provide a useful interchange, so far from being a deterrent to reopening Primrose Hill Station. It would also serve the Camden Town Roundhouse Theatre very well.

No, sorry

Primrose hill.

Now you know 😜

You’re welcome, are you route learning or just interested, I’m on the pass side of things now, that’s all irrelevant to me 👍

Thanks for your comments btw

Agreed! I went to school at the top of the hill there around 1960.. If we got out early we could see the Flying Scotsman at Harringay West on its way to KX. Sometimes with Mallard, IIRC. Question, did any passenger trains ever use the flyover?

I was the driver and ahead is a 10mph speed limit if memory serves me right, I’ve not driven that for over 2 years 👍

@@martinking7390 What kind of train was it, to go so slowly all the time? Not a criticism, it gives us more time to check the scenery!😁😁

@@bertspeggly4428 it would have been a class 66, the journey is slow as the line speed is slow, 10 Mph in places upto a max of 40, it’s a few years now since I’ve been over that way.

You’re welcome 👍

Exact same sentiment. Thanks for posting.

TheAudiostud I think it’s train care.

Believe terminal complex when in yards

I think so.

Yes it is - 313 electrics took over from november 1976 and great northern suburban services into London Broad Street withdrawn Broad street finally closed in 1986 when services to Richmond were diverted to north woolwich and watford services diverted to neighbouring London liverpool street, but withdrawn in 1992 Broad street station was razed to the ground but services use the route via dalston junction as far as great eastern street and then curve over to shoreditch high street station before diving down onto the former east london line So theoretically at least, services COULD be reinstated onto the canonbury curve, but I am unaware of any proposals or plans to do so, and remains in place for freight workings only

And I have also learnt that some great northern services used to run to moorgate via the kings cross (york way) platforms and use tunnels either side of the station to reach farringdon barbican and moorgate - when direct services to moorgate via the city branch, these services were also withdrawn, leaving just the services to Midland main line which ran another 33 years There are of course a few people who think these services should still run......

@@Keithbarber Yes, and some of the trains we're class 31s hauling MK1 suburban stock, the ramp leading down to the york way platform was a ideal vantage point for viewing these and Kings X in general, back in the 70s it was a most atmospheric place, especially with the DELTICS.

No problem, I’ve moved in now from freight to pass, this video i took to help me route learn. I ended up signing the route you’re talking about, Wembley, Copenhagen Junction and upto Peterborough 👍

@@martinking7390 Martin I loved this video. I used to spend much time as an enthusiast travelling the NL Line before I moved abroad. Tell me. Is Cannonbury Tunnel still open to Freight traffic. I can remember many years ago in the 70's watching a 37 coming through Drayton Park heading towards Stratford and beyond hauling a rake of MGR wagons. Regards

waxingthenip Hi, I’m no longer on frieght, I’m a pass man now, but canonbury is still open for freight

@@martinking7390 Thank you Martin. Happy memories! Greetings from SA .
