Default Whatever happened to the Mill Hill East extension?

A separate station in Edgware? I'm pretty sure it was intended to be
the same station in Edgware, with a junction between the two lines
immediately south-east of the station.


There were two stations in Edgwa Edgware LNER and Edgware LER.

The Golders Green branch ran, and runs, to Edgware LER.

The Mill Hill branch ran to Edgware LNER. As part of the Northern
Heights work, passenger trains would have been diverted to Edgware LER
and thence Bushey Heath. Goods trains would have continued to use
Edgware LNER.

The Northern Line was roughly planned to have run

[...]

The planned service patterns we
- Kennington to Bushey Heath via Finchley and Charing Cross
- Kennington to High Barnet via Charing Cross
- Morden to Archway via Bank, extended to Finchley Central in the peaks
- Moorgate to East Finchley, extended to High Barnet in the peaks
- Moorgate to Alexandra Palace
- Moorgate to Finsbury Park tube (peak only)
- assorted services to Edgware via Golders Green

Trains on the two main routes from Moorgate would have coupled at
Highgate.
