Crouch End
Platform remains at Crouch End station, looking towards Alexandra Palace, in heavy snow on 5th February 2012. Opened by the Edgware, Highgate & London Railway (later absorbed by the GNR) in 1867, this line almost became part of the LUL Northern Line with over £1 million being spent on the project before 1939. After the war, the scheme was not proceeded with even though conductor rails had been laid all the way and the platforms at Crouch End, seen here, reconstructed to adjust to tube train height. Steam trains continued to ply up the gradients from Finsbury Park until the line, once promised a bright new future, was closed instead, on 5th July 1954.
