I have a day out in London and surrounding environs lined up in the

anyone have any suggestions?

Well that is a subjective question; one man?s eclectic is another's
every day sight.

For me the North London Line is always interesting. It passes thru
varied territory, passing numerous other lines.

Seconded. I always find it particularly interesting to see the freight

remote north.

The *remote north*? You mean places like Birmingham?

Or perhaps Cricklewood? ;-)

Willesden Junction, where i assume the trains fall off the edge of the
world.

You can be forgiven for thinking that Willesden Junction is the edge
of the world. ;-)
