Watford
Watford Metropolitan Line station is remote from the town centre but serves a well-populated residential catchment area. The terminus, lovely in restored pre-LPTB Metropolitan Railway colours, was opened jointly between the Metropolitan and the LNER from a triangular junction between Moor Park and Rickmansworth, on 2nd November 1925. Metropolitan Line trains ran, as they still do, to Baker Street and Aldgate via the south spur but the LNER shuttle service between Watford and Rickmansworth via the north spur was withdrawn in 1934. This view is on the quiet Sunday afternoon of 12th March 2023, with a train of LU S8 stock just arrived from Aldgate on the left and waiting to form a return service to Baker Street.
