As of this morning (tuesday) everything above platform level at Primrose Hill has gone....even the shrubbery!
There was no sign of work being continued on the platform,at least from my vantage-point on the bridge.
All this begs the question....what's going on?
Are they saving a few bob on ongoing maintenance by clearing the platform?
Are they clearing the site completely for operational purposes?
Are they preparing the platform for eventual re-opening with modern facilities?
Or are they just keeping their options open?
Either way,it seems a shame to destroy such a well-preserved facility at such a pivotal time in its history.

Cheer up - they've only demolished the canopy. Having no stairs and no entrance, the station wasn't exactly in readily re-openable form anyway. I can't imagine it'll make much difference either way.

It may have been an unsafe structure?

The current service is not good enough for Elephant - Queen's Park never mind Watford. Actually, when i was last at Queens Park there was a Bakerloo line train departing southbound about every 1-2 minutes. I dont see anything wrong with that? The service to Harrow and Wealstone may be awful at times though!  |

It isn't as frequent as 'every 1-2 minutes'. No line runs that many trains per hour.

For most of them yes! I imagine a few trains will linger on as spares for the Bakerloo and in case the Watford plan does happen. NO! They won't tear apart my 1967 Stock! Never! |

The service to Harrow and Wealstone may be awful at times though! The line has gone up in my estimation since I said that, things seem to have improved a lot on the Bakerloo line.  |
