Perhaps some research is needed into this, but Im pretty sure that the tracks were never laid, or they were laid but never electrified, or something.
And if they were there they certainly weren't there by 1867.

They weren't electrified, you're right about that. There's probably not much traffic for a route like that anyway.

Oh, yes, see what you mean. The line MHE to Edgeware did exist, but never formed part of the Underground network, so in that respect was 'never opened', but the infrastructure for it did exist.

http://www.davros.org/rail/culg/northern.html provides the background.

It is this infrastructure that has since deteriorated.

Besides, having a Mill Hill East - Edgware train would make us all have to re-plan our routes!

Well, yes, but every time you guys have to do that, me and the general population will probably be quite happy. :)

Everyone seems to want to get rid of the ELL as well.
