Class 313 train at Drayton Park station
Drayton Park station has an interesting history. Originally built by the Metropolitan Railway, the Great Northern and City line was built to take full-size rolling stock from an underground station at Finsbury Park to Moorgate. In 1933 it passed to London Transport, who worked the line with tube trains. In the mid-1970s the northern end at Finsbury Park was altered to join the surface lines, and British Railways took over the line, using these dual-voltage trains.

South end of Drayton Park station (2)
Looking south, towards Moorgate, from the south end of platform 1. The railway is underground from here to the terminus at Moorgate. As clearance in the tunnels is insufficient for overhead electrification, the lines through them are electrified on the 750V DC third rail system, Drayton Park station being the changeover point between that and 25kV 50Hz AC overhead electrification.

Drayton Park Station
One of London's least-known stations, Drayton Park opened on 14 February 1904 on the Great Northern & City Railway, which passed into operation by the Metropolitan Railway in 1912. The GN&C was operated electrically from the start, using a four-rail insulated DC supply system with positive rail outside the running rails on one side, and negative rail on the other. This unique system survived into London Transport control in 1933, and not until 1939 was it changed to the LT standard 4-rail system, using tube-sized rolling stock.
Drayton Park station in 2010 essentially retains the appearance it had when built, although the LT canopy added after 1933 rather spoils it.
