West Green railway station

West Green railway station was on the abandoned Palace Gates Line in North London.

The Great Eastern Railway opened it on 1 January 1878.

Competition from nearby railway lines and the Underground Piccadilly line rendered the Palace Gates line unprofitable and the line and the station were closed for passenger services on 7 January 1963[1][2] and for freight on 7 December 1964 by British Rail.

Afterwards the shallow cutting that housed the station was filled in and the site is now occupied by a school and sports field.

Two small buildings from the station frontage were used as shops until their demolition in August 2003.
