Andy walks along the former eastbound platform at Crouch End. The station was opened in 1867 by the Great Northern. It led a quiet life undergoing a rebuild in 1952 but was closed a mere two years later to passengers in 1954. The lines remained in use for freight and stock movements until complete closure came in the early 1970s due to the condition of a bridge and of the flyover crossing the ECML at the far eastern end. The tracks were lifted in 1972 and most infrastructure removed.
