Disused Stations: Croxley Green triangular junction and depot

A Bakerloo Line train standing in the siding called the Long Neck west of Croxley Green depot in April 1982. All movements to and from the car sheds ran into and out of this siding. The abandoned Rickmansworth branch is on the right.

This view from April 1982 shows that the depot could stable two trains in each road seen here in Road 11. The outer one on each road was still in contact with the current rails so did not need to use the trolley leads.

Croxley Green - Watford Junction DMU between Croxley Green Junction and High Street Junction on
10 April 1987. The route to the long neck for Croxley Green Depot diverges to the left behind the train. During 1987 and early 1988 DMUs worked the Croxley Green service, possibly due to a shortage of class 313 EMU units.
