Details: A nice surprise was to receive some photos taken inside Edgware Track Depot in February 2021, this being one of several locations which cannot be seen 'into' from any public vantage point. This view shows a line-up of vehicles with the (semi-permanent) office buildings in the background. The Northern line runs beyond these and in front of the trees in the background. The tower block being worked on in the right distance is located on Station Road, while the red brick building below this is part of Edgware Bus Garage.

Although only one of the LUL vehicles can be clearly identified, it was conveniently one that we did not previously know about. 9028F is a Ford Transit Mk8 dropside truck new in November 2020. Also visible are two high-roof Ford Transits, and three hired vehicles. Of the latter, two were Mercedes Sprinter dropsides (though with differing frontal designs) and the third a Transit van. The fact that there are hired vehicles here (and there were more parked nearby) is perhaps because the normal supply of replacement vehicles has been disrupted by the COVID situation. If so, this might be a location to watch when deliveries return to normal. Two more points to mention. Firstly, note the broad similarity between the latest versions of the Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter (the two nearest vehicles). Secondly, a stream called Deans Brook runs beneath this location, more or less where this photo was taken.
