| This station had closed to passengers in 1902, Called "Harlesden for West Willesden & Stonebridge Park". It was used for goods traffic until 1964. The Buildings have long gone, but the Platform site can still be made out in 2016.
It was on the south side of the "Craven Park" triangle.

Four car unit of Watford Joint (Tube) Stock. Introduced in 1920 for the Watford DC extension line and partly owned by LNWR/LMS and LER (Bakerloo). It was not a great success and was replaced from about 1930 on by Standard Tube Stock. A few units remained for urther service on Croxley and Rickmansworth LMS branches. |

 Photographs of the H. Sabey yard with Wideboats ABBEVILLE & SOUTHWOLD in view can be found in Alan Faulkners book, "The Regents Canal". Video footage taken at this location was used in "The Grand Union Canal". Both are thought to have been shot in the 1930's. |
