I was also planning to do Finsbury Park - Moorgate yesterday before things went pear-shaped.

I was very nearly on the train half an hour later off Bayford, where I was yesterday. (which was stuck for half and hour at Alexandra Palace, as you noted). Will be back to do Old Stret to Moorgate hopefully later in the year, and also need to go into London Kings Cross at some point (to clear Belle Isle to London Kings Cross)

27/07/18

St Pancras International ( low level ) - Belle Isle Junction.


Does the grade separation at Bermondsey count as new track for the purposes as bashing since it's the same routes as previously but just on different levels? If so, then I can also claim the flyover part of it.
