I think you'll find that Highbury & Islington is in North London.
South Londoners are too civilised to do such a thing.

That looks like a third rail 378, so it's come to H&I via east and south
London.

All 378s look the same, whether they have a pantograph in the upper
coach or not, don't they?

The clue is the lack of OHL in the pic.

A few guard dogs in the depots would sort the problem but of course that
