Oakleigh Park

Oakleigh Park, a north London suburban station on the ECML opened on 1st December 1873 and rebuilt with two island platforms in 1892.
This view is looking south to King's Cross, 8 miles and 30 chains away, on 30th November 2013, one day before the station's 140th anniversary. Only the outer edges of the two island platforms are used by the all-stations service to and from Welwyn Garden City and since this photo was taken, the platforms on the centre fast tracks have been fenced off, making it a touch more difficult to photograph express trains storming through with the same situation at New Southgate, New Barnet, Brookmans Park and Knebworth stations.
