I've mentioned before how YouTube in-cab videos fascinate me.
One uploaded in the past 24 hours might hold a wider interest
because it provides a rare opportunity to sample the Hendon
Lines and the Brent West Curve.

Oldskidmark - a most unfortunate choice of moniker - is obviously
a driver of freight trains, and he has uploaded several videos of
fairly obscure freight routes in the London area.
Thanks. I've just noticed that there's a "Hendon Chord" reversible track
just north of Hendon station between the fast lines and the Brent Curve
which leads to the Dudden Hill line. Does it get much use?
It's also amazing how much valuable land is wasted between the RAF
museum and Hendon Station. It might be a bit noisy for housing but you'd
think some use could be made of it.
