After a 4 month blockade, the NLL is now fully open again. As I left work, the first few passenger trains were arriving & departing at Stratford [just about on time ;-) ]

Shame the train describer between Dalston and Stratford NLL is being tempremental :-S

When me and my son visited Stratford just after Easter the station staff were saying that the NLL would re-open in June. Am I right in thinking that London Overground now run the train services over the route ?

Yup - see http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/projectsandschemes/15359.aspx for a map covering the system.

London Overground has operated the service ever since Siverlink lost their franchise.

From Wikipedia:
Quote:
On 11 November 2007, TfL took over the franchise for the operation of trains on North London Railway routes formerly of Silverlink Metro
And yes, Paul, it has been a much quieter few months. Now back to how it was in January, when I passed out. Time to remember how it all worked back then ;-)

Its not exciting. It is essentially in an office, with no windows and no trains running nearby :-(

When I find somewhere to host the images I have, I'll try and put them up.
