This stock was in use on the North London Line - ie Euston-Watford, Broad Street-Watford and Broad Street-Richmond services. This is an example of the LMS-built compartment stock, which tended to appear mostly on Watford services in the post-war period; Broad Street to Richmond was almost entirely operated by LNWR-built Oerlikon stock
context_page_description: The London, Midland and Scottish Railway was involved in the development of railway electrification of Britain. Like the LNER and the SR the LMS took over several schemes that had been developed by its constituent companies and also completed some of its own. All were suburban lines, in London, Liverpool and Manchester, and were usually steam lines converted to electric traction. Each service is listed below, showing dates of opening and the railway responsible for its conversion.
