The North London Line from Richmond to Broad Street, and later, to
Stratford was the capital's Cinderella railway for many years. An
official report in 2006 called it 'shabby, unsafe, unreliable and
overcrowded.' It was threatened with closure under the Beeching Axe
in the 1960s and again in the 1970s, escaping on both occasions due
to organised and effective protest groups. Today it thrives as a
key part of Transport for London's Overground network, and the
story of how it survived closure threats and lack of investment is
essential to an understanding of the politics of public transport
in London over the past half century
