East Finchley
East Finchley station, looking north, on 1st April 2021, the 81st Anniversary of the extension of Northern Line tube trains from here over ex-GNR/LNER tracks to High Barnet. The station was originally opened by the Edgware, Highgate & London Railway in 1867 and was rebuilt in 1939 for tube trains which arrived here that year via a new extension from what is now Archway station that comes steeply to the surface just south of East Finchley. Only the outer edges of the two island platforms are used; had the Northern Line extensions been fully completed, the centre platforms would be used by peak hour services from Finsbury Park to High Barnet and Bushey Heath but the tracks now lead only as far as Highgate depot.
