Euston-Watford Electrics in Transition 1

The first of two films showing primarily the dc electric trains on the joint Watford - Euston / Broad Street / Liverpool Street / Elephant and Castle services at a time before & when the rolling stock and signalling was being changed.

This film includes BR Classes 501, 313, 310, 86, Manchester Pullman, (plus more) and LT 1938 stocks, with stations including Harlesden, Carpenders Park, South Kenton and what I think was Croxley Green.

Headcodes on the 501's seen include...
B1 (Watford - Euston)
B2 (Watford - Broad Street via Primrose Hill)
B9 (Croxley Green branch - one scene only).

A history of this line can be found here

Great Video, Does Carpenters Park Station have Ticket Barriers?

sorry, I've no idea - I do not live locally and as this is outside the Travelcard area I cannot go there easily and see for myself.
