Brent Cross West Station Is Open!

On Sunday the 10th of December, station number 2580 Brent Cross west opened, with the first train departing at 6:45. Though there were some small delays, the opening event was a success and I had an awesome day meeting many people and being able to experience the beauty of this architecturally stunning station. Brent Cross West was the first mainline station to open in London for ten years, and is very much worth a visit.
Thanks to @NickBadley , @JenOnTheMove and @tubemapper for appearing in the video.

    It was only when I returned to the station after catching the first train that I realised my microphone had been unplugged for the entire journey, meaning that everything I said (of which there was quite a lot) had not been recorded 😢 next time around I’ll make sure to double check EVERYTHING so something like that doesn’t happen again. Aplologies!

    0:06 i swear portway parkway (i know thsts not real name) was much less than 10 years ago 'a little bit of delay' i had to go to brent cross northern line because there was literally zero services when i went and that was so painful 2:51 nearest station to a thameslink station is another station pretty far south compared to BCZ
