has since been removed. Bus station Turnpike Lane bus station is situated behind the tube station complex. It is owned and maintained by Transport for London. There are three stands at the bus station and the main operators that serve it are London General, Arriva London, Metroline and Sullivan Buses. History In the 1920s buses operated from a garage on the adjacent Whymark Avenue until in 1932 Turnpike Lane station was built. It was originally conceived as an integrated bus, train and tram station, with the bus interchange located behind the main building. It was roofed over in the 1960s. By the 1990s the bus station was deemed too small, both for the number of buses using it and the increasing length of vehicles. A new bus station was thus built which involved demolishing an adjacent cinema to extend the hardstanding. Location It is located on the junction of, and directly serves, Turnpike Lane, Wood Green High Road Wood Green and Green Lanes. London Buses routes 29, 41, 67, 121, 123, 141, 144, 184, 217, 221, 230, 231, 232, 329, 444 and W4 and night routes N29 and N91 serve the station. Future In May 2013, the government confirmed the station to be on its main consultation route for the Crossrail 2 proposal, to be on the blue-printed New Southgate branch. Popular culture The station is mentioned in the song "Junkie Doll" by Mark Knopfler on his album Sailing to Philadelphia, and also in "Los Angeles Waltz" by Razorlight on their self-titled album Razorlight.
