View northward, towards Bedford and the North: ex-Midland Main Line from St Pancras. The 07.25 from Manchester Central is headed by Rebuilt 'Patriot' 7P 4-6-0 No. 45536 'Private W. Wood, V.C.' (built 5/33, rebuilt 11/48, withdrawn 12/62). The major Cricklewood Locomotive Depot and extensive Brent (Empty) Sidings were on the left, the Loaded Sidings and the Carriage Sidings being on the right behind the express. This station and the parallel A5, which passed the Yards on the west side, were favourite spots for train-watching.
