connections to Alexandra Palace and to bring places like Muswell Hill ,
Crouch End etc. to connect to the Northern Line at Highgate High Level.

If there was a northern line branch to Muswell Hill I can only imagine the
stratospheric prices the houses would reach there. They're not exactly cheap
now. Pulling up that branch line must have been one of the most short
sighted idiotic things ever done in london transport policy.

No, closing a railway is no biggie, unless they build on it. The mistake
was tolerating people who say that a closed railway is a treasured green
space that can't be reused as a railway (or road). The area would still
be well supplied with green space without the Parkland Walk.
