I have to say, some of the GN stations really are in odd places.
Oakleigh Park in particular - it's in the middle of nowhere! Why wasn't
it built it a mile or so further south, where it would at least have
been close to some vaguely major roads? Winchmore Hill and Grane Park
are also pretty badly sited, but when with the railway having the route
it does, there aren't really any better alternatives.

Winchmore Hill station is within 50 yards of the historic centre of the
village

Aha. Makes sense. Also, that means it's maybe not as bad on the ground as
it looks from the air.

Oakleigh Park still has no excuse, though!

It would be really handy to have a map of London which told you where the
local commercial centres were, for this sort of thing.
