Junction Road [London]
The site of the eastbound platform of Junction Road station, on what is now the London Overground Gospel Oak to Barking Line, on 3rd August 2013. The Tottenham & Hampstead Junction Railway had opened on 21st July 1868 but Junction Road was not opened until 1st January 1872 and closed as a WW2 economy on 3rd May 1943. Some years ago there was a proposal to reopen this station, with a pedestrian subway linking it to the nearby Tufnell Park station on the LU Northern Line and although both Islington and Camden Councils were supportive of this scheme, nothing happened. Since there has been substantial housing development in the vicinity of Junction Road in recent years, a new station here would be very useful.
