West End Extra - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 26 June 2009

Rail line is a joke

• I understand the North London Line/ Overground is to shut completely for 18 weeks from early January.
This line is fast becoming a joke, if it isn’t already. We have had a two-and-a-half-year closure, a 16-week partial shut-down as well as weekend closures for much of the past 10 years. Each time we are told it will result in a better service and each time we are disappointed. The reliability of the line will not be restored until massive freight trains are stopped from going over 150-year-old viaducts.
George Downton, NW6
