Has a wonderful, peaceful feeling. It feels great to ride the line. Interestingly, Geoff Marshall made a video about the station recently! What a coincidence!

The difference is Marshall suffers with verbal diarrhoea this guy keeps it simple.

What a wonderful story! I used to live in Amersham and apparently I also used to love watching the trains from a bridge. Also, your production quality/editing is absolutely amazing for such a new channel; I’ve been trying to make videos since the start of 2022 and am nowhere near your level!

@@NickBadley u ok? I like your videos.

My very 1st tube station that I stepped on was Belsize Park back in 2006.

I like the trip down memory lane at this video start. Very nice Nick. That 12:00 transition was something else so smooth and stylish just *chefs kiss*. Would love to see more of these, obvs not personal tube tales (That your prerogative to do after all) but just popping up and down line giving bits of history and sight seeing.

I do like High Barnet. This really gives me a good insight on how you like trains and I’m sure you enjoyed seeing that bridge again. Awesome video as always!

Here that distant rumbling? Jay Foreman, Geoff Marshall and Jago Hazard all quaking in their boots at the new kid on the block 😄

I do like Barnet! Went to the College campus there for 4 years. Went to the Phoenix Cinema on a College trip too. Sometimes I'd take the Northern Line to Central London on my break or I'd take the long way home to like East Finchley and get a bus. Or going to New Barnet and get a Class 313 to elsewhere.

Enjoyed this! It’s part of the tube I’ve not really explored yet.

Brilliant video Nick, this part of the Northern Line is great, wouldn't mind visiting Highgate again

Great video. Highgate disused station is getting tattier as the years go on.

Brilliant video Nick, I loved hearing the story about your childhood spotting trains on the ECML at the beginning of thie video. I do like a good art deco tube station, I will have to explore this bit of the Northen line at some point, I've not done it yet.

High Barnet and New Barnet is my favourite stations too I was there Saturday

Great video, love your enthusiasm mate! And great to see people my age posting this type of content on KZread, subscribed! :)

Welcome to the channel!

Woah it’s so weird seeing you check out places that are so near to me and that I’ve wondered through so many times

Last summer I walked from Camden Town to High Barnet. So this video brings back memories.

I like High Barnet, my mum was born and lived there, and I now live not far from the southern end of the Northern Line, Morden.

Brilliant i loving all the stations on the High Barnet branch and ive never ridden that branch of the Northern Line so im def going to ride that in the future and that bridge overlooking the ECML looks like a great place to film the trains and i def want to look into going there one day to film the trains keep up the awesome work

Nice to show us a bit of memory lane Nick! - Keep up the good work, enjoying your content very much 👍

Nick. That was a fab video, my particular highlight being the wonderful art deco station at East Finchley, a station I love.

Yes, the concrete posts are for tube cables. And you missed looking at the Dollis Brook viaduct from below - it is spectacular sight.

Lovely video. As a Barnet resident all my life, born and bred, this was a treat to watch! :)

Loved this video Nick! More please 🙏 !

used to work at Finchly......loved the area thanks for this video.....able to relive some of my past

Great day out exploring, memory lane and I like the interesting facts. You need to watch Jago Hazard for station building and architecture info - just to complete the KZreadr name dropping through your video 😂

Hi keep them coming I live 200 miles + from London so find it very interesting to see these videos.

10:35 I'm probably really late to this lol, but yes those were there to carry the cables that would've supplied the electricity to the trains. There's also some bits of what seems to be disused rail that has rusted away in a bush on the path.

Woodside Park is basically in North Finchley, so you were in Finchley before you arrived at West Finchley

work of art

I had the opportunity many years ago to spend a summer living in London - well actually we lived along the Edgeware branch - regret never making it up the High Barnet.

That field at 1:10 looks like Tudor golf course that I used to hack about on when I lived in Potters Bar

I stood on that same bridge in Hadley Wood as a child in 1968 to watch 4472 Flying Scotsman pass underneath on its journey to Edinburgh. Those were the days before regular mainline steam excursions, and people thought there would be no more steam on the mainline.

10 years later. "i haven't watched nick badlys video for ages" 👍👍

I first went on the High Barnet branch in 1987, when a friend and I were doing a large London pub crawl, with Barnet's Mitre Inn being included! Of course, the Mill Hill East-Edgware section was originally a steam line, which closed for it's tube conversion but WW2 and the Green Belt intervined!

As someone who lives in East Finchley and goes to High Barnet for school, it is quite weird giving this little niche of London so much love

Oh, you also explored the area around West Finchley station. That's where my grandparents lived when I was little. Those streets look remarkably unchanged since the 1960's 🙂I used to ride on the Northern Line when it had 1938 stock. Even then I knew there was something special about those trains with the wooden trim and the warm glow of the lighting.

As someone who spends a lot of time in High Barnet and New Barnet I can't say that I share the same appreciation for the place others do, or that I even like the place at all, but it's crazy that multiple KZreadrs I watch (you and Geoff Marshall) have now uploaded videos about Barnet recently lol.

Great Video Nick

My local branch line, yay

Great video, I used to live on the archway Road, so highgate was my local station. Hope you didn't use the toilets at finchley central. I did when I did the tube challenge, and boy are they grim

Brilliant video. I'm just so mad about how they've ruined woodside Park, you can see the giant horrific structures which somehow people have got planning permission to build there. It looks hideous and spoils the station.

Splendid video mate 👍

Harry Beck has a blue plaque near West Finchley

Woodside Park was where my old school was (which you pass 4:51-4:54), so I was always one for taking that path alongside the Tube whenever we’d walk into Finchley or beyond. I was also once tasked with getting an entire class to the Farm School in Mill Hill by public transport. Due to the timings of the journeys, I calculated that it would be quicker to take the Tube to Totteridge & Whetstone and then a bus (the 251) to the The Rising Sun bus stop (directly outside the farm) than taking the train down and up to Mill Hill East and a bus and long walk from there!

Also, as a fellow former Londoner, I too miss having actually-regular trains every few minutes. They’re once an hour here! 😫 And my favourite station is Turnham Green for much the same reasons as yours is High Barnet: It’s where I called home when I was in London, so that station was the one I saw most often.

Nice video, I do like the High Barnet branch more than Edgware

High gate brilliantly ended up

Are there many frequent route bus around these stations ?

46.2/50, excellent!

A decade and a half is practically yesterday to me . ah well

Also I like Barnet because there's a bus route 107 that takes you to Elstree and Borehamwood in Hertfordshire where EastEnders is based and bbc

Can you visit north greenwich next?

Liked the vid, BTW, what camera and microphone do you use on these jaunts ?

Will you do a video about the 777s?

They don’t make em like they used to (suburbs)

You should have edited a roundel at West Finchley, and called it ‘Not West Of Finchley’

"...when I was young..." LOL, mate, you/re still young, how old are you, nineteen?? :)))))) Nice video, thank you.

So if Barnet played a big part in your early life, where is ‘Up North’ that you occasionally refer to?

Yes they are electricity posts

Now your Jay foreman lol

You make me smile, Nick. Enjoying your rail videos very much. Your voice is really nice to hear. You can also visit Tube and Overground stations that feel almost rural, such as Fairlop and Theydon Bois stations on Central line, and Pinner to Moor Park stations on Met line. Also why not visit Wimbledon Chase, the Least Used Station in Zone 3 of London. Have you considered visiting McDonald's in Zone 2 of London via Tube and Overground and/or buses? Because areas in Zone 1 are rather hectic or touristy.

Hiya mate New Subscriber here I do Vids on Trains Buses etc or Walks if you wanna do a vid one day it would be good ⚒️👍🏻
