Andy spent the first ten years of his life in

Finsbury Park living very close to where this photograph was taken crossing Mount Pleasant Villas road on the Parkland Walk. He reported that as a young railway enthusiast in the late 1960s he remembered seeing north London suburban stock shunted in and out of the remaining track close to this location. The stock accessed the sidings by the mainlines and next to the park via a flyover that crossed the ECML just north of Finsbury Park station. Coaches were stabled there during the day in between use on commuter services in and out of the capital.
