Piccadilly line extension to Cockfosters : ウィキペディア英語版 | Piccadilly line extension to Cockfosters
The Piccadilly line extension to Cockfosters added eight new stations to the northern end of London Underground's Piccadilly line. The extension through north London from to was opened in three stages between 19 September 1932 and 31 July 1933. ==Need== When the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway (GNP&BR, precursor of the Piccadilly line) opened in December 1906, its northern terminus was at Finsbury Park where it had an interchange with the Great Northern Railway (GNR) and the Great Northern & City Railway (GN&CR). To obtain approval for the railway's construction, the GNP&BR had, like the GN&CR before it, had to accept a GNR veto over further extensions north in competition of latter's suburban passenger services from King's Cross. Very soon after the GNP&BR opened it was clear that the termination of the line in urban Finsbury Park rather than further out of central London in more suburban Wood Green, Southgate or Tottenham had been a mistake. Passengers leaving the GNP&BR and the GN&CR at Finsbury Park preferred to transfer on to trams and buses for the continuation of their journeys, rather than use the GNR as it had hoped. This caused much inconvenience and congestion in and around the station at Finsbury Park.
