Having recently arrived with a service from the north, 91117 'West Riding Limited' has a brief rest before a driver will join the train and work the 16.15 to Ferme Park, an ECS move for the train to be stabled and serviced. Just in the background to the left is the entrance to the tunnel that took the Metropolitan line extension down into the depths to Moorgate station. The platform, just by the tunnel entrance, was referred to as King's Cross York Road and was only served by northbound trains. Services ceased in 1977 but I recall 31s hauling rakes of suburban stock out of the tunnel and into the daylight at this spot in my early spotting days.
