Spring blossom at the neat Croxley Green terminus on 22nd April 1976. The EMU will shortly return to Watford Junction. The service lasted another 20 years.

Croxley Green (LNWR) station early one morning in December 1977. Terminus of a short electrified branch from Watford High Street, the station was then very well kept by a most helpful stationmistress. Train services (but not the station building) survived until 1996 when the line was severed as a result of construction of a new road. Still not formally closed, the branch may be merely resting, awaiting eventual linkage into the nearby Metropolitan line.

Prior to the opening of Watford football stadium halt in 1982, the only intermediate station on the Watford High Street to Croxley Green branch was Watford West. This photo, taken at Watford West on the afternoon of 20th September 1979, shows a Class 501 EMU departing for Watford Junction.
