York Road was the name for a ’lost’ underground station on the Piccadilly Line north of King’s Cross and south of Caledonian Road. Traffic levels were never high, and the station closed in 1932, on the same day that the northern extension of the Piccadilly Line from Finsbury Park to Arnos Grove opened. London Transport Museum runs tours of the station through its "Hidden London" programme. The tour features original elements of the station including the tiled lift lobby and signal cabin and it explores the modifications that were made to the station over the years. The road it was named after has also changed its name (to York Way) Credit: The Underground Map TUM image id: 1624971865 Licence:	Penalty Fare Credit: twitter.com/rowanbeentje TUM image id: 1659634352 Licence: CC BY 2.0	The former Pentonville Cottages awaiting demolition Credit: London Metropolitan Archives TUM image id: 1602410443 Licence:	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:
