Default East Finchley - Why So Large???

In article , Richard M
Willis writes
As such, East Finchley was going to become a large junction, from
which you could get to:
a) Central London via Highgate Low Level and Archway


Right. Then either Bank or Charing Cross branches.

b) Alexandra Palace via Highgate High Level


Only by changing trains at Highgate HL.

c) Finsbury Park via Highgate Low Level


High Level, not Low Level, and thence to Moorgate.

d) Bushey Heath, Edgware, Mill HE
e) High Barnet


Right.

Most of this happened but never all at the same time, I think.
I presume they'd already built/enlarged the station by then.


East Finchley was rebuilt in the late 1930s.
