Player
Description
It's Episode 2 of London's Lost Railways, whereh we walk to Stanmore, which once had a railway station many years before the London Underground built their line. It was a branch with trains that shuttled back and forth between Harrow & Wealdstone, with 'Belmont' station in-between too. Let's see what remains today ...

Correction : Stanmore Village closed first in 1952, but a shuttle between Harrow and Belmont ran until 1964, hence "Belmont Rattler"
