The depot at Willesden can be viewed from trains out of Euston. Taking a fast non-stop train to Harrow & Wealdstone will enable you to view the west side of the depot (look to your right), or a slow train that stops at Willesden Junction will enable you to view the east side (look to your left).

The depot can also be seen from the road. Turn right out of the main exit of Willesden Junction station into the approach road and follow the road/footpath under the High-Level line to the depot entrance. View the north end of the depot from the road before reaching the security gate.

To view the south end of the depot, exit the station by the entrance situated between the top of the stairs at the southern end of the Low-Level platforms and the High-Level platforms. This footpath follows the High-Level line for a short way and brings you out onto Harlesden High Street. Turn right onto the High Street and then first right into Scrubs Lane to view from the railway bridge further down on the right (see also Old Oak Common).

To view Willesden FLT from the road, turn right out of the main entrance from Willesden Junction and view from the bridge at the end of the approach road.

Note: shunters from Willesden sometimes trip to Wembley yard.
