Crouch End
Platform remains at the former Crouch End station, near where I live, on the GNR's Northern Heights branch, looking towards Alexandra Palace, on 3rd July 2014, the 60th Anniversary - if it can be called that - of the last day of passenger trains on the line. This was earmarked for electrification and incorporation into the LUL Northern Line as part of the 1935 New Works Scheme but after the war, despite over £1 million being spent with conductor rails laid all the way and the platforms at Crouch End adjusted to correspond to tube train height, the scheme was never completed and the line once promised a bright new future closed instead in 1954. A shameful blot on London Transport's otherwise rich history.
