The railway line between Watford and Rickmansworth opened in 1862. Passenger services on the railway line to Rickmansworth (Church Street) ceased in 1952 and most of the branch closed entirely in 1960 although track remained in place for a number of years afterwards. The tracks leading to it continued to be used for goods services until 1967 when it was completely closed and the line cut back to one of the intermediate freight sidings. A considerable length of the trackbed is now used as the Ebury Way Cycle Path as seen here. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watford_and_Rickmansworth_Railway for more information about the Watford and Rickmansworth Railway.
