Watford to Rickmansworth Branch Line
Part 2
On the way back we decided to make a slight diversion to see if we could find the entrance to the abandoned Watford Stadium station, on the Watford to Croxley Green branch line:
The view of Watford Stadium platform from the bridge in Vicarage Road.
The old entrance to the station. I stayed with the bikes whilst the boys went to see if you could get up to the platform from here.
Back from their mission, having got on to the platform.
One of the two shelters just before the platforms.
Looking back towards the entrance / exit.
At least this signal has survived over the last two weeks...
Ben looking over the bridge that crosses Cardiff Road.
Time to escape.
We also tried entering the station via an embankment round the other side, (it was easy). In the woods, next to the embankment, we came across this sculpture of a man playing a piano. Not what we expected to find!
Our final stop was at the park. Mission accomplished.
