The remaining side of the northbound island platform at Harringay station, looking south towards King's Cross, on 18th April 2019. The single track curve in the background on the right leads down to a connection with the London Overground GOBLIN line just east of Crouch Hill station and is normally used only by freight and empty stock workings to and from Bounds Green depot. However, on 4th May 2019, the spur was traversed by UK Railtours 'The Amber Valley Venturer' from Victoria to the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley and on which I was able to secure a seat. Shame it didn't stop at Crouch Hill which is my local station and would have given me an extra hour or so in bed but then I'd have missed the enjoyment of the roundabout journey from Victoria up the West London Line!
