It formerly lead to the rubbish dump at Croxley. As far as I know stuff like ballast was dumped there after engineering works - I've seen a photo of a Pannier tank taking some ballast wagons down the siding.
It's certainly out of use, someone else will be able to tell you whether it's been demolished or not.

It was pencilled in for reinstatement as a major P/Way storage site and depot, designed to ease the logistical difficulties of feeding a night's worth of engineering kit through Ruislip Siding. The locals demolished it in a fit of NIMBYism.

All of the connection and track has been removed, however you can clearly see where it diverged, just north of Watford South Jct on the Sb road. |
