Brand new 717 006 just departed from Finsbury Park station in north London and heading north along the ECML, on the pleasantly sunny and mild afternoon of 28th March 2019. The bushes on the right mark the site of the now demolished ramp that once took down trains onto the former GNR's Alexandra Palace branch until the line closed to passengers in 1954 after almost becoming part of the LUL Northern Line.
