A cloudy and warm day spent in the afternoon at Carpenters Park on the West Coast Mainline and Watford DC Line where we see services from Avanti West Coast, London Northwestern Railway, London Overground, Southern, and some freight.
Carpenders Park is a railway station located in South Oxhey in Hertfordshire, closing to the boundary of the London Borough of Harrow, which is currently 1-3 miles away from Watford Junction and 18 miles away from London Euston. It was opened on 1st April 1914 by London & North Western Railway for 3 years, then it was closed on 1st January 1917.

London Underground trains served the station until 24th September 1982. The original station was to serve the nearby golf course when 230 yards further north than the current site.
