Watford Stopper
An ageing class 501 unit approaches Wembley Central with a local service from Euston to Watford on what are usually referred to as the DC lines. When this was taken in 1985 the 501 slam door stock was being replaced by more recent class 313 units with sliding doors and uncomfortable seats!
The trackside electric live rails warning signs are rusted and fading. The more recent 'passengers must not cross the line' sign doesn't look much better. In the distance the line curves to the left to pass under the main line and the carriage sidings at Stonebridge Park.

DC lines south from Wembley Central station
Looking towards Euston from the Down DC lines platform. Here, the DC lines (so called because they are electrified using a direct current system) swing away from the West Coast Main Line (whose AC electrification gantries are visible on the left) so they can pass under it near the Down end of Willesden yard.
