Default Croxley Rail Link hits the sidings

And while rowlanding, i noticed yet another branch of that, coming off
the main line to Ricky he

And heading north. I saw a mention of a branch that was built to the
Croxley printworks - is this it?


That's the paper mill, not the print works. The mill was located roughly
where the end of Byewaters is, just east of the lock on the canal (it
was a regular walk in my youth).

Seems a bit mad that this railway built two separate branches that
went to almost the same place. No wonder they went bust.


This wasn't a passenger branch, it was a normal goods siding off the
Ricky line.
