View southward at Lower High Street, towards Bushey, Harrow and London on the railway. Built originally by the LNWR, Watford Junction - Rickmansworth/Croxley Green, LNWR electric trains after 1917: from 1922 LNWR electric trains also ran via Bushey & Oxhey to London (Euston/Broad Street), London Electric (Bakerloo Line) trains from Elephant & Castle having been extended from Queens Park. From 1926-27 the Rickmansworth (Church Street) and Croxley Green branches were electrified, but the Rickmansworth electric service ceased in 3/52, freight from 1/67; a service on the Croxley Green branch lasted until 3/96, but is planned to be revived in the form of the Croxley Link, substituting in part the ex-Metropolitan line from Moor Park to Watford (Met.).
