goodbye silverlink!

silverlink metro and county services run by national express since 1997 have recently been axed they ran services in north, south, east and west london line not forgetting the WCML respectively.
before silverlink, national express ran a very small company called north london railways which started in 1995 but with the company having won the bid for the west coast mainline (WCML) the name was considerd inapropriate they decided to name it silverlink after one of the A4 steam locomotives.
The WCML services have now been taken over by london midland services run by govia. london services are now known as London Overground ken livingston’s new blood money making scheme.
in the next few years he wants to raise fares and still provide a shite service.
the music is from the north london line driver’s eye view but they have made their music album availible to everone for £7.95
