Before GOBlin Electrification – Upper Holloway

I went to Upper Holloway station on my way to Waitrose.

It is not a grand station, being just two ramps and staircases from the Holloway Road to two more than adequate tidy platforms. It is not unlike Crouch Hill station.

At present there are roadworks outside, as the road bridge over the railway is being replaced. I suspect that this project will have to be completed before electrification through the station is started. Obviously, when the new bridge is finished it will have sufficient headroom for the overhead line equipment.

Upper Holloway isn’t an official interchange but as the station is in middle of  a slope between Archway and Holloway Road stations, which eases walking in one direction, it can sometimes be a useful interchange.

But the station will need improvements to its step-free access.
