Mill Hill East - Least Used Northern Line Station

We're counting down the least used stations line by line on the London Underground, this time to the Northern Line and the oddity that is Mill Hill East.

Note: The Waterloo & City Line won't be done, as it's only two stations with passenger figures that are ridiculously high, because the stations are Waterloo and Bank.

There's scope though to do 'Least Used...' on the Overground, DLR and Trams.

Lol at the guy presumably wondering what the hell Geoff was doing at 0:59.

Geoff I just wanted to say that I love your videos. They are all very very informative and I love the detail you go into about the stations and it’s history and ridership. I watched a bunch of your older videos on the tube before I came out to UK for the British GP last year and while in London I remembered your videos and I went out around on the tube searching out the things you had mentioned in previous videos. It was like a city wide scavenger hunt and I really enjoyed it. I love what you do and maybe someday we can do some tube explorations next time I’m out in the UK. Would be an honor to ride the tube with you. Hope you are doing amazing Geoff and have an amazing weekend!

At 0:59,
Geoff is talking about being on an empty carriage while laying on the floor.
The guy in the next carriage must have asked himself: „What the hell is he doing there?“

I had a very special moment when Geoff pole danced for us.

Mill Hill East? More like Mill Hil-least used station amirite?

I love this series, I always get excited when one of these videos pops up in my subscription box

First time I visited this station (in the 60s), there was still a colour light signal (at red) at the North end of the platform, with the track still in place northward. I was trying to see as much of the system as possible with a Twin Rover ticket except north of Rickmansworth on the Metropolitan line which was, apparently, not permitted ( Amersham was a nice place, though!). It is a pity about the Northern Heights being abandoned.

Next time I watch Jay Foreman's unfinished london episode of the northern line I will straight away watch this. I think when Geoff said 'Road bridge goes over nothing' it is a reference.

Great video!, i loved the part when you show the old railroad branch covered by grass, the road bridge where the railway line used to be and the capture of the buffers in and out the platform.

I love the Mill Hill East Branch. Mill Hill East is one of the 12 London Underground stations you can access the platforms without passing through a ticket barrier!

Great video. I was in London over this last weekend (22-25 Feb 19) my friend and myself got the Piccadilly Line to Cockfosters to admire the Charles Holden architecture (on your advice) together with Trent Park. We then got the bus over to High Barnet to pickup the Northern Line to Archway - I did suggest doing the Mill Hill East branch, had I known this we would have done!! However, we did get the only electric unit current running between Gospel Oak to Barking Overground from Upper Holloway to Barking!!

That whole area of London, with Mainline & underground railways, plus the Northern Heights plans, blow my mind. SO many plans.

A video about the Mill Hill East branch... ELECTRIFYING stuff.

[paulpainter]

Sampled this delightful branch after seeing this video. Really interesting and got a carriage to myself. Viaduct is awesome!. Thanks for making this video.

I love how you like to visit different stations on the various trains.
I've been trying myself to visit all the routes on my local transit system (we only have busses) and I've used the majority of them. there are just the few smaller routes that I have had no reason to ever use and haven't had time to ride.

[stephendines]

Nice one Geoff. You picked a good day for it.

[charliebrown]

Remember waking up at 4am on an empty parked up train at this station; after I had fallen asleep after a night out in Camden and missed my stop. The good old days :O)

[jordanweir]

Anybody else bought the old northern line driver's eye video, from the transport museum, that travelled to mill hill east when they were a kid? those were the days :D awesome vids bro keep up the great content

[evilmuppet]

I actually go to this station almost every day because my only bus to school passes just through there. Even if barely anyone uses, to me it's pretty convenient
