The Wannice and I ventured out on our second ever explore to parts of the disused Croxley Green Line. This, the first of two parts is Croxley Green Station.
Upon arrival we were greeted by a group of kids on bikes who we thought were up to no good but infact were more than happy to show us around. They helped us up the steep embankment with a rope they had tied to a tree, took us to the bridge over the canal and also told us the different areas we could explore.
The Croxley Green branch was "temporarily" closed by the then SRA in 1996 and a bridge on the route removed to make room for a road-widening scheme. The bridge was never replaced and the nature had now taken over the line in an eerie kind of way.
TfL had been looking to re-open the Croxley Green Branch for an extension of the Metropolitan Line but this is looking very unlikely now.
Enjoy. I'll post pictures of the second part tomorrow.
