Northern Heights v2 for BVE4

Latest News & Updates

The Northern Heights route is a semi-fictional London Underground route, set in the present day. The line was proposed by London Underground some years ago, but work was never carried out to create the line, which linked the Mill Hill East and Edgware termini together, in the North of the Capital.

The route is written by Richard Helliwell.

The latest version, v2, consists of the following features:

Route Overview

This route was never actually built by London Underground. In the 1930s, it was proposed by London Underground to join the two branches of the Northern Line, and also electrify the Mill Hill East branch. The path of the track was made, removing any trees, bushes, and bridges were built. Track between Mill Hill East and Edgware was laid, and work was  progressing to lay the tracks north of Edgware to Bushey Heath, however this was interrupted by World War II. After the war, the pans were abandoned, leaving Edgware as the terminus. Steam hauled freight trains continued to run between Mill Hill East and Edgware until 1964, when the tracks were lifted. The line This route for BVE4 is an interpretation of what the branch would have looked like, should it have been made. Please look at the included map for a better picture of how the route would have looked, or visit Underground History  for all the Northern Heights information and pictures. I would like to thank Hywel Williams for creating such a useful resource.

The line between Finchley Central and Mill Hill East has been constructed accurately using the Northern Line DEV by Video 125 Ltd.
