Stroud Green
View from Stroud Green viaduct on the GNR's former Northern Heights line, closed in 1954 and now a footpath. This view looks east along the London Overground Gospel Oak to Barking line, which passes beneath the viaduct in a short tunnel, on 31st March 2021. On the left is the single track spur that connects with the GNR main line just to the south of Harringay station and which is normally only used by freight and empty stock workings. However, I was able to traverse this spur on 4th May 2019 on a UK Railtours' excursion that originated, rather unusually, at London Victoria to the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley in Derbyshire. The train did call at Alexandra Palace (formerly Wood Green) which is close to where I live and had I boarded the train there would have given me an extra hour in bed but that would have meant missing a ride over this short section of line in north London not normally used by passengers. So an early start to Victoria it had to be.
