The Anonymous Widower

Piles, Masts And Rubbish

I took these pictures whilst travelling between Upper Holloway and Gospel Oak stations on the Gospel Oak To Barking Line.

There’s quite a bit to do.

• But it does appear thata good proportion of the piles are in the ground to the West of Blackhorse Road station, with masts already erected in some.
• The platforms, like those at Upper Holloway, need extending back to their original length.
• The large number of piles dumped by the track, to the West of Upper Holloway station is probably because they will be needed to electrify the route to Carlton Road Junction.
• There is quite a bit of rubbish to clear up.

This map from carto.metro.free.fr shows the lines in the area.

Lines Around Gospel Oak And Kentish Town Stations

Trains will certainly be able travel to and from the East on the Gospel Oak to Barking Line to and from the North on the Midland Main Line, but will any of the other chords in the junction be reinstated?

|And will Junction Road station be rebuilt and connected to Tufnell Park tube station?
