A journey on board a Thameslink train from Cricklewood to Brent Cross West Station, London's newest, that opened on the 10th December 2023. This was built to serve the new development of Brent Cross Town, which is a better name, in my opinion. The new station, along with an extension of Route 316 to serve it, allows people to cross the railway here as the bridge is open at all times. This was much needed as Brent Cross itself is built for cars, with the A1, the M1 and the North Circular Road very close to each other, and with the railway sidings, the two communities were split apart. Between these two stations, there's a spur of track known as the Dudding Hill Line, used by freight trains only, which could see new passenger services along it in the future as part of the London Overground network, which would see more trains stop at Brent Cross West Station.
