Mill Hill (The Hale)
The site of Mill Hill (The Hale) station, looking towards Edgware, with some remnants of the platform visible in the weeds and undergrowth, on 14th September 2019, 80 years and 4 days after it closed. The closure was meant to be temporary to allow this ex-GNR line to be doubled and electrified for Northern Line tube trains but the scheme was held in abeyance during the war and never fully completed after 1945. Tube trains from Finchley Central started running on a single track as far as Mill Hill East, just one stop, on 18th May 1941 but the Mill Hill East to Edgware section never reopened to passengers. Freight trains over this section, however, continued to run until 6th June 1964.
