A Transport for London spokesman said: "London Underground (LU) has
examined the possibility of extending the Victoria line to
Northumberland Park, and this has proved not to be a viable option. The
only viable location for a station at Northumberland Park is to the
east of the WAGN tracks, which would mean that either large crowds
would be using the level crossing or existing narrow footbridge, or
that a new footbridge would have to be constructed at great expense. We
will continue to work with the club to look at how supporters can best
travel to games.

Since Spurs are looking to enlarge their ground anyway, a new Ashburton
Grove-sized stadium would just about fit on the allotments and bus depot
at Marsh Lane. Call the new stadium Northumberland Park, so that
everyone knows which mainline station and tube station are best. The new
tube station, the A1055 and the stadium would all be on the same side of
the railway.

They'd still have to traverse the footbridge or level crossing to get from
the NR down platform to the stadium, though, so we're back to square one!
