The London & Birmingham Railway opened from Euston to Boxmoor in 1837 and on to Birmingham in 1838. In 1846 it became part of the London & North Western Railway. Suburban trains were diverted from 15th June 1912 to run over the "New Lines", which had just been built between Euston and Watford Junction. The nearest two lines are served by London Overground, the middle two lines are for fast trains and the furthest two lines are for semi-fast and freight trains. The next station in this direction is Carpenders Park. A Virgin express out of Euston races through. The view is from Little Oxhey Lane which is also followed by the London LOOP here.
