Drayton Park station in its Northern Line days Drayton Park was opened by the Great Northern & City Railway (GN&CR) on 14 February 1904. Although the Victoria line does not serve Drayton Park, its construction during the 1960s had a significant impact on the station. The City Line tunnels north of Drayton Park were closed on 3 October 1964 and were reused by the Victoria line, which was connected to them south of Finsbury Park. Drayton Park became the northern terminus of the City line, which later became known as the Northern line Highbury Branch. On 4 October 1975 the line was closed and ceased to be part of the London Underground. The line was transferred to British Rail. TUM image id: 1621895160 Licence:
