This line, part of the Great Northern Railway's suburban network, ran from Mill Hill East to Edgware. When the London Underground's Northern Line took over much of that network it was proposed that this would become part of a web of lines that offered two routes to Edgware and eventually an extension on in the direction of Elstree, but the Second World War led to the abandonment of the plan and of this line. Although the line was never electrified, preparations took place and along the right side of the path can be seen regular concrete posts that would have carried the power cables.
