disabled=yes seems like a strange way to tag a nonexistant railway halt (https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1214318902)? Maybe historic:railway=halt? (if it should even be on OSM). Likewise the railway marked as abandoned despite no trace on aerial imagery?

Again, what is the source for this footpath. It is not visible on the ground (so would need trail_visibility setting). The PROW is only signed on the far side of the railway bridge and not at all at the Proyer's Path end. I'm not aware that Brent have released their definitive map.
3 ~ 7 years agoFirefishy I have walked the route many times. It is route that the majority of people who walk to/from the bridge use and it outside of the common pitch area. Yes, the western side before the paved path can be boggy in winter or after heavy rain.

The key point is that there is nothing on the ground (although just recently, some grass has been left long at the edges, and you can see the trampling, near the bridge). Also, the chances are that the path doesn't match the historic right of way.
