I think it does.  Trains stop there.

"Apparently there is a platform". Well, hardly...

From the 'Passenger Services over Unusual Lines' website (!):

Northumberland Park Depot (Staff Platforms) - Seven Sisters [London Underground]
[notes: accessible only to or from Seven Sisters platforms 4 and 5; Northumberland Park Depot is
not accessible to the public and nor are these trains]
Unadvertised staff trains operate outwith peak hours.

Wasn’t this featured recently in the redoubtable Tim Dunn’s Secrets of the London Underground TV programme?

That episode was broadcast 13th August. Series 4 episode 7. Catch up on U.co.uk (sign in, but free I believe). Hence the cryptic original posting two days later, perhaps.

Watched it now. Platform is a stumpy little thing, one carriage long or so.

Apparently Spurs have asked for a proper station from time to time. As well as mc.

The depot station IS NOT the same as the Greater Anglia station so pls don’t confuse them.

so Northumberland Park has a station and there is a depot nearby for service purposes.For info there is also the Meridian Water station nearby….
