Caledonian Road and Barnsbury
378223, with a London Overground short working to Gunnersbury, arriving at Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station on the former North London Railway, on 21st August 2020. This is the first time I can recall a train not going the final two stops to Richmond. (As a footnote, Caledonia is the Roman name for Scotland and in the Middle Ages an asylum for Scottish servicemen was set up here and the road leading to it, now a major traffic artery, was quite logically called Caledonian Road. The site of the asylum is now rather grimly occupied by Pentonville Prison, a short distance north up the road from this station.)
