The line, along with the rest of Britain's railways, was nationalised in 1948 and became part of British Rail. In 1981, the Kentish Town branch was closed and the link to Gospel Oak reinstated. For more recent history see the Gospel Oak to Barking line. Stations The line had the following stations (listed from east to west using the original station names): Tottenham (existing, service abandoned 1870) South Tottenham & Stamford Hill (existing) (added 1872, replacing Tottenham) [now called 'South Tottenham'] St Ann's Road (new) (opened 1882, closed 1942) Green Lanes (new) (opened 1880) [now called 'Harringay Green Lanes'] Crouch Hill (new) Hornsey Road (new) (opened 1872, closed 1943) Upper Holloway (new) Junction Road (new) (opened 1872, closed 1943) Branch: Highgate Road {Low Level} (new) (opened 1900, closed 1918) Kentish Town (existing, added 1870, line abandoned 1981) Highgate Road {High Level} (new) (closed 1915) Gospel Oak (existing, added 1888, abandoned 1926, line reopened 1981) Current status The branch to Kentish Town closed in 1981 because there was not track capacity at Kentish Town because of the introduction of the Thameslink electrification project. The remainder of the line now forms part of the Gospel Oak to Barking line, part of the London Overground.
