West Finchley
LU 1995 stock with a Northern Line service from High Barnet to Kennington via Charing Cross arriving at West Finchley on 24th April 2021. The line is now part of the London Underground but was opened by the GNR on 1st April 1872, although this station was an afterthought, opening on 1st March 1933 under the LNER. It retains its halt-like buildings and was first served by tube trains in 1940. The station serves the Nether Street area of Finchley and, when planned, locals were asked to suggest a name for the station and somebody came up with West Finchley. Personally, I don't see why it couldn't have been called Nether Street which is the main thoroughfare of this 1930s suburban development.
