123. East Finchley

Saturday 2nd April 5.30pm

The most interesting of the Finchley stations, probably because it's near the shops and is a lot less suburban. It's got a bigger, more interesting, station building, and doesn't have a footbridge to the platforms - instead the line is elevated and there are passages and stairs underneath it with signs like this:

122. Finchley Central

At this point I began to realise that there's a lot of Finchley and it's all quite similar, although I'm sure the locals wouldn't thank me for saying so.

121. West Finchley

Saturday 2nd April 4.45pm

This is very similar to the last station although it seems to have a slightly more modern, smaller, station building. It also has a footbridge over the tracks and when I crossed it there were two trains in the station so I stopped to take a picture:

Which of course means I missed my train, but amazingly, considering this feels like the middle of nowhere, another train arrived two minutes later.

120. Woodside Park

Saturday 2nd April 4.25pm

Now I'm getting to the bits of the underground that hardly seem like underground at all as I get towards the edge of the map. This station started like as a train station before it was brought into the network. With its above ground platforms and platform canopies edged with white board it doesn't look that dissimilar to the rail station at home. And out of the station itself it's very residential - you could be anywhere.

Oh and according to Wikipedia it's alphabetically last on the list of Tube stations. I've never thought to look at a list like that - I must find one.
