Never mind demolishing it - they should reinstate the line to muswell hill.
All
the trackbed is still in situ from there back to highgate sidings and putting
track back down and restoring highgate high level station would cost buttons
in
comparisons to white elephants such as crossrail. I'm pretty sure a shuttle
service to and from highgate to catch the main northern line would be pretty
popular given the current alternative is the bus to wood green.
So a couple of hundred, at most, commuters a day compared to the white
elephant carrying tens of thousands.
A couple of hundred? You've never been to muswell hill have you.
And crossrail sure as hell won't be carrying 10s of thousands anytime soon
even if it does open next year which it probably won't.
It definitely won't open in 2021, and won't fully open till at least 2023.
