People
living
alongside
railways


are
being
urged
to
keep
objects
in
their
gardens
safely
tied
down
after
a
wind-blown
gazebo
caused
60
trains
to
be
cancelled
or
delayed
on
one
London
line.

Gospel
Oak
to
Barking
Riverside
Overground
services
were
disrupted
for
about
three
hours
after
a
gazebo
was
reported
to
be
blocking
the
line
between
Upper
Holloway
and
Crouch
Hill
stations
at
around
09.45
on
Friday.
Passenger
and
freight
trains
had
to
be
halted
until
a
Network
Response
Unit
could
clear
the
line.

While
it
was
blocked,
there
were
15
full
train
cancellations
and
eight
partial
cancellations.
Another
37
trains
were
delayed.

Rail
Anglia’s
head
of
network
delivery
Juwad
Nasir
said:
‘We
worked
hard
to
get
the
railway
running
again
as
soon
as
possible,
but
unfortunately
there
was
still
a
big
impact
on
London
Overground
passengers.

‘I’d
ask
all
our
neighbours
to
tie
down
anything
on
their
properties
that
could
get
on
to
the
tracks.
Thank
you
for
helping
us
keep
passengers
and
freight
moving
safely
and
reliably.’
