A Moorgate bound class 313 electric unit stops to collect passengers. On the right is the station building which stands on Buckingham Road. The large glazed window in the side is almost certainly the location of the original footbridge accessing the platforms. This would have been removed at the time that the line was electrified, sometime between 1973 and 1978 when the electrification was completed. The modern footbridge and station buildings on the platforms date to that time. The line on the right is the headshunt for Bounds Green Depot, which is located on the opposite side of the bridge carrying Buckingham Road over the railway - just visible above the train.
