Stations with an interchange, such as Highbury & Islington in the
north-east and Canada Water in the south-east, became more
important. Each weekday around 60,000 people travel to and from
Highbury & Islington on Overground services.

Indeed Highbury is a busy place but unlike Canada Water it's an old
station that should have been modernised given the key interchange with
the Victoria Line. At present, the down escalator is out of service too.

Thankfully the escalator works should be finished in a couple of weeks
or so (best avoided at peak times till then).

The station had a new entrance open, doubling the size of the gateline,
which is a significant improvement over what there was.
