The Great Northern Railway opened its line between Maiden Lane and Peterborough on 7th August 1850 on which date Barnet station opened. On 1st May 1884, the station was renamed New Barnet. This is the view from the end of the up slow platform. Trains go from here to Moorgate. To the left is a siding. The fast lines are to the right. As is the case with many stations now, where it is feasible as here, the fast lines are protected by railings. The next station in this direction is Oakleigh Park.
