route to Watford.


Probably a good thing in hindsight. Now its still fairly green around
that area. If the tube had gone out that way it would have been
another few miles of urban sprawl. Though who knows, in a parallel
universe maybe its been built ... )

Anyway , the northern line has enough trouble coping with its length
as it is. Can you imagine the service if it had another 5 miles on
track bolted on north of edgware and perhaps the line from mill hill
east to edgware too?
