Or Camden Road, or Primrose Hill. Still I am glad it has reached H&I.


But to get to those stations you just walk across the platform to the NLL.
To get to finsbury park and all the services there everyone will have to
go underground and pile on to either the victoria line or the FCC moorgate
line for the short hop. My guess is that there are going to be a lot of
extra journeys on the victoria line from finsbury to highbury now and back
and the line is pretty packed already on this section in the rush hour.

As I did post about a month ago, it could be a good reason to start an
enhanced service along the big tube between Moorgate and Finsbury Park
including at weekends/ evenings.

This would take the pressure off the Victoria Line between Finsbury Park and
Highbury and Islingtpn, and if you are changing to other suburban services
at FP its a lot better than climbing up that spriral staircase from the
Underground platforms there.


The line could be inrorporated back into the tube map too.
