The Great Northern Railway opened its line between Maiden Lane and Peterborough through what is now Hornsey on 7th August 1850. Like all of the suburban stations on this stretch of line, the fast lines run through the centre while the slow lines are on the outside. Unlike a station such as Oakleigh Park - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2529502 - the stopping platforms are quite separate from the fast tracks which do not have a platform. The facilities on the platforms and the footbridge are modern, but the entrance on Tottenham Lane is Victorian - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4400091
