The Overground Connection to the Lea Valley Line at Seven Sisters

I tried to take a picture of the Gospel Oak to Barking Line of the Overground, as I passed over it, just before I got to Seven Sisters station whilst travelling to Bruce Grove today.

It was not good and neither was the one of the I took of Seven Sisters South junction that connects the two lines.

Some might argue that an interchange station here would be a good thing. Or perhaps that some trains from Enfield might use this junction to get to Barking and other places in East London.

I wouldn’t!  But I would make the walk from Seven Sisters station to South Tottenham station as easy as possible. According to Wikipedia, there is a shorter route that is not well signposted.

So often improvements in many things can be brought about by decent signs, maps or a few litres of well-applied paint.  Perhaps when we signpost an area, we should involve the teenagers.  They know all the short-cuts and those places that are dangerous.
