In Jim Blake's book "Northern Wastes", essential reading for anybody
interested in this topic, there is a picture of a 1938 tube stock
train at Highgate showing Bushey Heath - photographed in 1987.

The destination plates for 1938 stock were made before the extension
was abandoned and never changed - most abandoned extensions could be
displayed it required.
