Watford Stopper
Image: © Martin Addison Taken: Unknown
An ageing class 501 unit approaches Wembley Central with a local service from Euston to Watford on what are usually referred to as the DC lines. When this was taken in 1985 the 501 slam door stock was being replaced by more recent class 313 units with sliding doors and uncomfortable seats! The trackside electric live rails warning signs are rusted and fading. The more recent 'passengers must not cross the line' sign doesn't look much better. In the distance the line curves to the left to pass under the main line and the carriage sidings at Stonebridge Park.
