 The platform at Harrow & Wealdstone where the services to/from Stanmore Village used to run. To get to Harrow & Wealdstone, the line had to take a northwesterly curve at its southern end. This prevented trains from running through to central London (they were facing in the wrong direction). Surely contributory to the line's demise. |
 Harrow & Wealdstone. |
 Part of the track bed between Harrow & Wealdstone and Belmont. This did lie intact for many years but a passing visit in 2003 revealed some housing now built on the route. |
 Belmont station, or at least the remains of, looking south. All evidence of the station has been either demolished or buried now, although it has not been built over and the path of the line continues either side for a distance. It was closed in 1964. |
 A map of Belmont showing the area it served that now has no train transportation. The curve taking the line toward Harrow & Wealdstone (and away from central London) is apparent at the bottom left of the map. |
 Stanmore Village - the old station building, seen on the left here in 1952 ,was built in the style of a church in order to appease local residents who might otherwise have objected to the building of the railway. It was demolished after closure but some parts of its frontage were retained and incorportated into the house that was built in its place. For a photo of that house, move your cursor over the image above. Dewi Williams' site and Nick Catford's site. |
