You can clearly hear the Victoria Line trains from the Drayton Park
platforms.


Does anybody have any idea of the depth of the Victoria Line at this
point. Would a Drayton Park Victoria Line station capable of serving
the Emirates Stadium be a better prospect than the £60 million pound
project suggested for Holloway Road?


Not especially deep. However:
1) building a new station would still cost a hell of a lot more than
£60m
2) the Victoria line is already operating at capacity, so a new
station wouldn't be a great idea.

[IMO, walking to FP, Arsenal or Highbury & Islington will do the fans
good]
