Drayton Park railway station is on the Network Rail Northern City Line which carries First Capital Connect services between Moorgate and Welwyn Garden City or Hertford via Finsbury Park. It has had a chequered ownership, being opened by the Great Northern & City Railway in 1904, becoming part of the Metropolitan Railway in 1913, being transferred to the Northern Line in 1933, and becoming part of the British Rail network in 1975. For comparison there is a photo of the station at the end of its Metropolitan Railway days in 1933 in the London Transport Museum photographic archive here http://photos.ltmcollection.org/images/max/82/9855682.jpg
