Archway
Archway station, Northern Line, looking north on 20th November 2021. This opened as Highgate in 1907, the terminus of a branch from Camden Town of the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway and was renamed in 1939 when the line was extended to the surface at East Finchley. Tube trains were extended over former LNER lines, replacing steam, to High Barnet in 1940 and from Finchley Central to Mill Hill East in 1941. The rest of the Northern Line 'Northern Heights' extensions were never completed. Until 20th September 2021, the Mill Hill East branch had just a one-stop shuttle service to and from Finchley Central, supplemented by a few through peak hour trains, but when the new Northern Line branch to Battersea Power Station opened on that day, this was abolished and Mill Hill East now has through trains to and from central and south London all day, seven days a week. As can be seen on the indicator board in this view at Archway.
