Given how up and coming Muswell Hill is these days and the amount of bus
traffic that crawls around there, I'd suggest re-opening the Highgate to
Alexandra Palace branch wouldn't be a bad idea. The trackbed is still mostly
extant and there could be a shuttle service to highgate high level where pax
could walk down to the main northern line at the low level.


Corrected version.

The closure of the Northern City route to Muswell Hill never made
sense. Nor did cutting back the Northern Line to Mill Hill East. Had
the extension been built to Mill Hill Broadway, today North Londoners
would have had a short cut to Thameslink.
