Crouch End
View from the east end of the remains of Crouch End station, looking towards Finsbury Park, on 1st April 2021. The footbridge in the background was once used by peak hour commuters to save them a longer walk home from the main entrance (now demolished) on Crouch End Hill bridge at the opposite end of the station. It has been retained to give pedestrians on the Parkland Walk footpath, on the line's trackbed, access to the surrounding streets. Had it not been for World War Two, this part of the ex-GNR's Northern Heights lines would now be a branch of the London Underground Northern Line. Over £1 million was spent on the line before 1939 but it was never completed after 1945. Steam trains continued to run until 1954.
