Routemaster at Harrow Civic Centre
Dressed up for wedding duties, Routemaster RMA65 waits. This Routemaster variant was the last one of 65 built with a front entrance and equipped for towing a baggage trailer, for BEA duty from their West London terminal to Heathrow. They were originally in BEA livery, later British Airways after BEA and BOAC merged.

'Oerlikon' electric train at Harrow and Wealdstone, Middlesex
These heavy electric trains, which were in use at this time on the services from Watford Junction to Euston and Broad Street, and also from Broad Street to Richmond, had electrical equipment by the Swiss firm of Oerlikon. They were both reliable and fast, but they caused considerable wear to the tracks, which were shared with London Transport's 'Bakerloo' tube trains. The Oerlikon trains were replaced during 1957-58 with more modern (but much less interesting) stock. These services still continue, nowadays using Class 313 trains.

Memorial and civic buildings, Harrow
To paraphrase the inscription, it commemorates those who died fighting for freedom, from Harrow or anywhere else. There is no reference to any particular war or conflict, or whose idea of freedom they were fighting for.

Shuttle train from Harrow and Wealdstone to Belmont, Middlesex
The branch line from Harrow had originally extended to Stanmore Village station, but by the time the above photograph was taken in 1956 it had been cut back to Belmont. The service was usually worked by a push-pull fitted Fowler 2-6-2 tank engine and two bogie coaches, as seen here, although an early diesel train was also given trials here at about this time. The service was a casualty of the Beeching cuts and the last train ran in October 1964.

Harrow & Wealdstone railway station
The far end of the station was the scene of the worst peacetime railway crash in Great Britain, on 8 October 1952, when a London-bound sleeper train from Scotland ran into the back of a stationary local train waiting at a platform, and seconds later when an express train from London to Liverpool, running in the opposite direction, ran into the resulting wreckage. There were 112 fatalities.
