For me the North London Line is always interesting. It passes thru
varied territory, passing numerous other lines.
Seconded. I always find it particularly interesting to see the freight
trains, knowing they've come from Felixstowe and are on their way to
the
remote north.
The *remote north*?
Willesden Junction, where i assume the trains fall off the edge of the
world.
As a child, the Midland Red bus service that passed the end of our road
went to "World's End". It was one of the first things I learned to read.
I had this vision of the buses going to a cloud-filled cliff-edge and then
turning around and coming back to Smethwick.
Years later when I discovered the collection of suburban semis that was
World's end, it was a bit of a disappointment!
There are London buses that go to World's End as well.
There was even a TV series set there in the 1970s
