It's a pity most of the listed stations are closed. This possibly means you'll have to scrap some of your mission altogether. At least you've got an alternative with riding along a heritage railway, if you need to relax a bit more.
It's only the ticket office element at the stations that's closed at the moment except for 1 Kentish Town thats fully closed, but I still visit there in a video I have coming up. This means I have now visited all 272 in the last year.
@@yorkshirewanderer6176 I was born and bred on the Bakerloo Line. Initially, my nearest station was Neasden on the Stanmore Branch, and then we moved to North Wembley and that's the one I can really remember. Most of my train spotting trips started from there, as did trips into town and visits to my grandparents. I went to school near South Kenton and, after school, a group of us would go train spotting on the footbridge. Footbridge? What footbridge?? I hear you say! Well, you may not know this but, before the present subway with steps up to the platform was built, there was footbridge across the lines with steps down to the platform. It was demolished and replaced by the subway in the late 1960s when the first part of the WCML was electrified. I keep meaning to make a nostalgic return to both stations before I'm too old!
