Finsbury Park, thank you. I grew up here, in the dying glory of N2 tank engines pulling trains to Welwyn and Hatfield or in to Kings X. I have a photo my father took of me and an A4 going south to Kings X. The Piccadilly line was obviously there, but this was the end of the Northern Branch line to Morgate. Those platforms were given over to the Victoria Line in 1968.
hello Jago, I now live on Aus but am a Tottenham boy, I used to go to Hornsy and Finsbury Park as long ago as 1959 when I was 6. I remember steam well and of course all the early diesels. If you go into Finsbury Park proper there is a footbridge across the line and right next to it in the park was the purpose built trainspotters stand, such along time ago now as I left the UK in 1972. My brother used to work at Finsbury Park depot, 34G he worked on deltics class 47s etc.
love that final shot of the Victoria Line train disappearing into the tunnel
