Looking down on the Tottenham and Hampstead Railway from the Great Northern Railway's Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace branch. The latter is now a footpath known as The Parkland Walk and was a victim of Dr. Beeching's cuts. The Tottenham and Hampstead Railway's line survived because of its importance as a freight link across London. This view is taken from the site of the platforms of Stroud Green station. The diesel multiple unit is a class 172. The type recently replaced class 150's on the Barking - Gospel Oak service.
