I really appreciated my time that was spent at Hadley Wood especially with what variety I managed to see in the time I was there and plus I haven’t visited that particular station for quite sometime but it was a great station to revisit though.

My next station will be West Ealing which is situated on the Great Western Mainline haven’t been there for a long while but hopefully it’ll be a good station to come and visit so until then thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next video.
