A tweet from BBC Archive with a news clip from 1981 showing Broad Street and the North London Line to Richmond.

"A forgotten railway... the line that starts nowhere and goes nowhere"
Then going from Broad Street to Richmond, what's your favourite stop on the line? Or any other for that matter?

Shows a rather different NLL (and ELL) to the one we have now. Hope you enjoy the video clip.

1981 eh? I was living at Kensal Rise then in a first floor flat on Chamberlayne Road virtually next door to the station. I'd leave the flat at 07.18 to catch the 07.20 on my way to Beckenham via Highbury and Victoria.
