Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
An historic steam train journey - Alexandra Palace to Finsbury Park!
Two years ago, I posted a link to a short video made by a friend by the name of Mick Berg who lives on the west coast of California and he has just sent me a YouTube link to a new version, as seen from a viewpoint following the train:
Mick spent his childhood in Muswell Hill living in Dukes Avenue – he was passionately interested in the old and derelict railway line from Alexandra Palace Station through to Finsbury Park and has done extensive research on the line and its history. Using some clever computer modelling and animation, Mick has produced this 20-minute film that gives an impression of what it might have looked like on the journey. It starts at Alexandra Palace Station, then through to Muswell Hill Station and on to Cranley Gardens, Highgate, Crouch End and Stroud Green, finishing on Platform 10 at Finsbury Park.
Suspend disbelief and imagine yourself on this journey!

Excellent graphics. Brought back memories from being a trainspotter as well having Ally Pally and Muswell Hill as a playground. Little did I know then and I had forgotten it until now, that I would ride in the cab of a battery loco on the last stock move of LU tube stock from Drayton Park in around 1964.
