Should Hornsey Road Station Be Reopened?

London’s Overground is an undoubted success and those in charge at Transport for London, must be like children, who’ve just been given a brand new train set for Christmas, as they think of ways to improve the network.

They are not short of suggestions and this article in the Islington Gazette, suggests reopening Hornsey Road station, which was closed in 1943.

Whether this station reopens or not is open to speculation, but other candidates on the Overground that are also in the minds of either TfL, activists or politicians include.

1. Junction Road would link the Northern line to the Gospel Oak to Barking line.

2. Maiden Lane behind the development at Kings Cross Central on the North London line.

If I was being selfish, I’d like them to reopen Mildmay Park station, as it would be my shortest walk to the North London line.

The only certainty is that in ten and again in twenty years time, the London Overground map will look very different.
