Hornsey railway station is a suburban railway station located in Haringey, north London. It is in Travelcard Zone 3. The station is operated by Great Northern on behalf of Network Rail, and is situated next to the Hornsey train depot.

The New River canal flows to the east of the station.

History

The station was opened on 7 August 1850 by the Great Northern Railway (GNR),[2] the same day that the main line between Peterborough and London (Maiden Lane) was opened.[3]

Under plans approved in 1897, the station was to be served by the Great Northern and Strand Railway (GN&SR), a tube railway supported by the GNR which would have run underground beneath the GNR's tracks from Alexandra Palace to Finsbury Park and then into central London. The GN&SR stations on each side would have been the same as the main line stations. The GN&SR route and stations north of Finsbury Park were cancelled in 1902 when the GN&SR was taken over by Charles Yerkes' consortium which planned to merge it with the Brompton and Piccadilly Circus Railway to form the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway from Finsbury Park to Hammersmith (now part of the London Underground's Piccadilly line).[4]

Service

Hornsey currently has the following National Rail services off-peak (all operated by Great Northern) which uses Class 313 trains:[5]
