Here's a nicely amateurish and enthusiastic short (9 minutes) documentary on the Northern Heights Plan – a continuation of the Northern Line from Mill Hill East to Edgware and then up to Bushey Heath – that never got built (via):

by Jay Foreman and Paul Kendler.

And if you go here, you'll see how this all links up with my photo yesterday of Crouch End station. What a small interconnected world it is, to be sure.

    There are plans to reopen bits of the “Northern Heights” routes. There is a “Muswell Hill Metro Group” which has been campaigning for years, and further north, an attempt to leverage money out of Brent Cross and Colindale redevelopments, to pay for a light-railway. See tiny.cc/BXblog
