View from 378 230 with a London Overground service from Stratford to Clapham Junction passing the site of the North London Railway's Maiden Lane station, on the baking hot afternoon of Saturday, 6th August 2022. The line here opened in 1851 but Maiden Lane was not opened until 1887 and retained that name even when that thoroughfare was renamed York Road and is now York Way. It only lasted 30 years, closing as a WWI economy in 1917 and never reopened. The wide space between the two sets of tracks marks the site of its demolished island platform and the two side platforms have also disappeared. This station is not to be confused with the GNR's temporary Maiden Lane terminus that opened in 1850 and served for only two years before King's Cross was ready in 1852.
