How many stops did they plan to have between West Ruislip and Denham?-



One, at South Harefield. I believe that some construction work was
started, though not very much.

Tube dissected

The reasons why the London Underground was never extended to Bushey

In hindsight it was probably rather a good thing it wasn't since it
means theres still some green belt land around that area. If the tube
had been built then no doubt the ugly suburbs of Edgware and Stanmore
would have eventually been extended northward across the A41 & M1
creating the london suburb of elstree.

The other point is that the Northern line is quite full enough as it is,
could the modern Northern line cope with the extra traffic?

The plan would have had the service going from Edgeware via Highgate,
Finsbury Park, to Moorgate. So yes, probably.

Binning the finsbury park to east finchley track I think has to rate
as one of the dumbest decisions in the history of london railways.
Aside from being a far quicker route to the city than via the current
northern line it would have allowed all sorts of combinations of
through running of mainline trains too. Perhaps east finchley could
even have become an eventual terminus for the new east london line.

It's a couple of miles beyond West Ruislip, along the Chiltern line heading
towards Beaconsfield etc. Denham Golf club is currently the only
intermediate stop.

Denham Golf Club is beyond Denham. The tube wouldn't have gone that far even
if teh Denham extension had been built.

I'm sure I saw at one point, many years ago, plans for the ELL to go
from Highbury to Finsbury Park, then across the Parkland Walk to
Highgate and on to take over the Mill Hill East branch of the Northern
Line and terminate there. That obviously came to nothing.

Tube dissected

The reasons why the London Underground was never extended to
Bushey

The Northern line was going to be extended beyond Edgware, to
Brockley Hill, Elstree, & Bushey Heath.

However, the London Underground *did* serve Bushey between 1917 and
1982, when the Bakerloo ran to Watford Junction.

Bushey is not Bushey Heath.

Indeed - and the original article said the Tube was never extended to
Bushey.
