Friend Peter Rose has once more been exploring the delights that the capital has to offer.
This time he and his trusty camera have brought us the transport highlights of the area surrounding what was Finsbury Park railway station and has now been elevated to the level of an Interchange.
All the images reproduced here do so with Peter’s permission and my thanks.
The station dates back to the 1850s when the ‘Great Northern Railway’s line from Kings Cross arrived at what was then known as Seven Sisters Road (Holloway) station.
Becoming Finsbury Park station in July 1861
This was gradually extended North to York by the GNR and eventually to Edinburgh by the ‘North Eastern’ and ‘North British Railways’ so creating what is now known as The East Coast Main Line.
Underground trains arrived in the form of the ‘Great Northern & City Railway’ in 1904.
Trams and buses have been around since the early days when I suspect that they would have been powered by horses.
Today, such is the volume of traffic that two bus stations are required to service their needs.
