The station itself was okay, but I probably won't be getting off here if I'm not a local, namely because there isn't a pub around to go and get a beer.

This is a cute and somewhat modern (in part) station which gets a little busy around commuting time, and is in the 2/3 zone not far from Central London and not far from the football stadiums. Some of my many friends in North London live near here which is why I occasionally get on and off here. But if the arch is heavy, how much does the arch weigh?

It isn't a terminus station, but it is still quite large, no doubt because it does happen to have national rail services stopping here, though they don't always do that because, well, some of them are express as you probably should be catching them at the termini. It's not a bad station though, and they also have a bus interchange here as well.

If you're used to cramped platforms and packed escalators, Tufnell Park is a breath of fresh air: very small and very quiet (at least whenever I've been there), with some very nice Victorian architecture and fairly clean for a Tube station. Downsides are that it has lift-only access to platforms.

It is used by just under 4.5 million passengers a year. The station has a complex but interesting history. The first station here opened in 1867, on a branch of the Great Northern Railway from Finsbury Park to Edgware. The station at Highgate was in a deep cutting necessary because of the hilly terrain with tunnels at either end. In 1872 a branch was built to the pleasure gardens at Alexandra Palace, diverging just north of the station. Thus it remained until the 1930s, when as part of the planned tube extensions in north London known as the 'Northern Heights' Highgate was connected to Archway (then the terminus of the Northern line) by a pair of deep level tunnels, which emerged north of the station to connect with the Edgware line just before East Finchley. Services began in 1939, although the station did not come into operation until 1941. Part of the plan had also been to bring the Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace line into the tube network, linking it at Finsbury Park to the line to Moorgate. A new 'High Level' station was built at Highgate to act as an interchange. However, economies after the Second World War meant that the unfinished elements of the 'Northern heights' plan were abandoned, and the line from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Park continued to be operated by steam until 1954, when it closed to passenger traffic. Parts of the branch were retained until 1971 for freight and empty stock movements. Highgate station today comprises the low level platforms only, served by trains to High Barnet and Mill Hill East. The entrances (to Shepherd's Hill and Priory Gardens) are rather modest, and accessed by paths and steps from the surrounding streets which are mostly at a higher level: the area is heavily planted with mature trees, giving it an almost rural feel (and making it slightly spooky at night). There are escalators to a high level exit on Archway Road close to the junction of Muswell Hill Road, but this is not always open. However, the High Level platforms, together with the original 1867 tunnel entrance towards East Finchley are in very good condition and are clearly visible - from the footpaths, especially in winter when there is less vegetation. Their remains are a testament to what could have been!
