York Road station, between Kings’ Cross and Caledonian Road stations, opened in December 1906 at the corner of York Road (now York Way) and Bingfield Street. In 1909 the Piccadilly line decided to let some trains pass through some of the lesser-used stations without stopping; these included York Road. Sunday services were withdrawn in 1918 and the station was closed for public use in September 1932. The street level building became derelict, but was renovated in 1989 revealing the station’s name and the entrance and exit signs. With the massive redevelopment in the King’s Cross area, there is a possibility that the station might be re-opened - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Road_tube_station .
