53. Watford West in happier times. During the day when no trains were running, the station was locked shut to prevent vandalism. Note the traditional red telephone box and apparent support for Vietcong!

52. A few minutes later 501150 returns with the 1750 Croxley Green to Watford Junction. The guards watches over the empty platform.....Previous | Next54. A sunny spring afternoon witnesses the new order in the form of 313008. The branch service was rostered for a single unit. Exceptionally during heavy snowfall, I have seen a pair of 501s work, usually on the 'school service' which departed from Watford Junction at 15.40.

From Lynda at 2008-01-13 16:34:33 : This brought back a lot of memories. We used this station on a regular basis, getting off at the High Street to go shopping. What a shame the line is no longer open. It would solve a huge amount of traffic problems were it to be brought back into service.
From Jim Thompson at 2008-07-18 13:59:36 : That graffiti creates a true "blast from the past" - my head is swimming...
