As I remember it, this was purely a proposal by the loacal
authority, LB of Barnet. LU immediately refuted the idea, claiming
it had not done the necessary research, and that most of the
original track had been built over. I don't think that it was ever a
real starter.

That was something completely different. In late 1930's there was a plan to
extend Edgware Branch northward to Elstree & Bushey Heath. Prelimiary
building work took place in Edgware and bridge butresses are still visible
from A41. This was abandoned on outbreak of WWII, and never resurrected.

The route being discussed here is the old goods line (orginally passenger)
from Mill Hill East, past Mill Hill (The Hale) to a separate station in
Edgware. It went past the site of the present Copthall Stadium.
