The Great Northern Railway opened its line between Maiden Lane and Peterborough on 7th August 1850 on which date what is now New Southgate station opened as Colney Hatch station. The station was provided for the benefit of the Second Middlesex County Asylum being built at Colney Hatch at that time. The name subsequently changed to Southgate and Colney Hatch on 1st February 1855; to New Southgate and Colney Hatch on 1st October 1876; to New Southgate for Colney Hatch on 1st March 1883; to New Southgate and Friern Barnet on 1st May 1923; and finally to New Southgate on 18th March 1971. This view is of the down slow platform where a train for Welwyn North is about to leave. The fast lines are to the right, beyond the railings.
