The trackbed, seen here looking towards Colne Junction, was used as an unofficial shortcut to the depot by staff who would clamber off a train which would obligingly stop at the old junction site near Bushey Arches!Previous | Next23a From the embankment looking over Wiggenhall Road towards Croxley Green Junction.
