An excellent but cold evening spent at Carpenders Park station situated on the Watford D.C. line ajdadent to the West Coast Mainline where we see plenty of services from Virgin Trains, London Overground, London Northwestern Railway, Southern and freight from Freightliner, DB Cargo UK and GBRF.
Carpenters Park was built by the London & Northwestern Railway company in 1914 only to then be closed in 1917.
It was then reopened by the London Electric Railway in 1922 which would later become London Underground, they would continue to serve the station until 1982.
The station was first constructed to purely serve the local golf course until the housing estates were constructed to deal with the ever growing population. Because of this the original station which was constructed 230 yards further north had to be brought down and given a new look, the first station was a wooden structure which was connected to the golf course via a footbridge. Once the new station was finished it was accessable via an underground subway to link up the Carpenters Park area and the South Oxeley housing estate.
My next station is going to be Welwyn Garden City on the East Coast Mainline.
You can now find me on Facebook through the group Tornado922, there you will find regular updates, videos and photos from all of my goings on throughout 2018
