Is there a case for re-opening Kentish Town South Station? It is on a well foot trafficked section of Kentish Town Road.

Change of location: Kentish Town Station is an interesting location. The TfL LU side is not bad. OTOH the Thameslink side is Spartan.
Some protection from the weather on the footbridge and better décor and facilities on the platforms would be very welcome.


I read recently that LU station reopenings are now prohibitively
expensive because of the need to provide step free access from street
to platform / train.

Therefore any notion of reopening York Way or Kentish Town South can
be dismissed on cost grounds.

I thought that they were seriously looking at the prospect of
reactivating York Way.
