    Hi all.
    Incredibly random but I’m currently in London from Australia and doing some TSW rail fanning. Does anyone know if the rooftop bar on the Mildmay line between Kentish Town West and Camden Road a real location that you can visit.

    Also if there is another other great locations please let me know.

    Thanks all

    Might be worth asking Johannes who built the route.. I’m not familiar with Camden unfortunately!

    Kensington Olympia is good for freight but best of all imo is Watford Jn on the WCMLS as you’ll get a wider range of freight locos there including 70’s, 90’s and the odd 37 dragging a broken down emu. Plus the Pendolino action is outstanding.

    I noticed quite a few of them on mildmay line. Including in a scenario where some tracks are shut due to engineering, the spotter NPCs are still there, recording absolutely nothing

    There is a rooftop bar between Camden Road station and the disused Primrose Hill station. The Hawley Arms https://thehawleyarms.co.uk/
    Not much traffic past there ,the occasional freight, most go round the main route via Kentish Town West to Willesden .Passenger trains, only diverts and ECS workings..
    The Mildmay Line in TSW needs most of the freight services redone. Wrong train types and loads etc, which can be understood if the developer is not familiar with UK freight.
