Improvements To Oakwood Station

This post on IanVisits is entitled Enfield Council Outlines Possible Rail Station Upgrades.

By reading Enfield Council documents, Ian has found possible station improvements that might happen.

Ian says this about  Oakwood station.

Building around 50 homes on the station car park should contribute to street improvements around the station.

This Google Map shows the station and its two car parks.

Note.

1. The Piccadilly Line runs North-West-South-East diagonally across the map.
2. Cockfosters station is to the North-West.
3. Southgate station is to the South-East.
4. Oakwood station is in the middle of the map and marked by a London Underground roundel.
5. The car park to be developed is to the North-East of the station.

I took these pictures.

Note.

1. The car-park was full.
2. The station is step-free.
3. Barnard Cook was there, when I lived in Oakwood in the early 1960s.

I can’t see any problems building a few houses on the car-park, but what will happen to the cars?

To me though Oakwood station is defined by this post; The Place Where The Bottom Fell Out Of A Drawer.
