Gospel Oak
172006, on a London Overground GOBLIN service to Barking, waiting to depart from the bay platform at Gospel Oak station. The through platforms served by LO services between Stratford and Clapham Junction or Richmond are on the left. Until April 1981, trains from Barking on this line ran to Kentish Town on the Midland Main Line; the section that trains now follow from just west of Upper Holloway to Gospel Oak had been freight only since 1925. This bay platform also dates from the diversion of trains to Gospel Oak in 1981. The freight lines are on the right behind the train which make a junction with the LO electrified lines just to the west of the station, to which this view is looking, in the snow on 20th January 2013. Beyond the station, in the far right background, is Parliament Hill on the north side of the line and which was full of sledgers on this wintry Sunday afternoon and their shouts and squeals of laughter permeated through the blizzard across to the station.
