Archive Hi-8mm video footage taken at Watford West station in 1990. Since it had became unstaffed, vandals preyed on the charming old L&NWR station building at Watford West. It was only matter of time before the biggest vandals of all - British Rail, hiding behind the banner of Network SouthEast- completed the yobs work for them..... by December 1990 the delightful booking hall (and all its 1960's period signage) had been destroyed in an orgy of corporate destruction. The decoratively covered valanced steps that lead down to the platform from road level just about survived, and are seen here amongst the general dereliction. EMU 313003 pays a fleeting visit with an evening train from Watford Junction to Croxley Green, and returns a few moments later to whence she came.
Today the line is closed, although surprisingly the track remains in situ, but where the building once stood at road level, there is now only concrete and brick walling.
