View NE from the London end of the local platforms, towards Watford Junction and the North, WCML. Countless Specials came to Wembley, on the WCML and on the ex-GC line, on Cup Final days. Most of the WCML Specials went into Euston, but some unloaded here. This train from Colne via Stockport is headed by two Stanier 5MT 4-6-0s: No. 45229 (built 1936, withdrawn 9/65) and 44940 (built 12/45, withdrawn 3/68).
