I took a picture of the gates that they are building last night. There's no way they could fit a large truck in there so I think my original idea was wrong.

Over the last couple of weeks the frame of what looks like another engineering shed has appeared next to the existing one. Still can’t work out what is happening on the side you took the photo of, presumably just levelling and a base to run a track into the new shed. So don’t think it is anything to worry about as the concrete works is too far away on the wrong side of the tracks (and how often does Crouch End get called that?). Whatever it turns out to be it is…

Been watching and trying to figure this one out myself on my way to work for some weeks now. I agree it is a bit mystifying. No planning application was posted and I couldn't find one on the on-line register. The work is also on the Hornsey railway depot site itself so could be they are just trying to improve access for themselves - trains being serviced do pull up along that stretch of track siding but there is/was no made road or path to it which isn't very safe for workers. But whatever they…

The work is also on the Hornsey railway depot site itself so could be they are just trying to improve access for themselves - trains being serviced do pull up along that stretch of track siding but there is/was no made road or path to it which isn't very safe for workers. But whatever they are doing if it increases traffic up Railway Approach (or whatever it is called) one problem will be the parking on double-yellow lines on both sides by people visiting the mosque at the end of that road. I regularly see lorries struggling to get in/out which ends up blocking Wightman Road. That's been an accident waiting to happen for some time.<br />

Sorry, I've re-read that and it sounds a bit like I'm scaremongering... I'm mostly just curious.
