Totteridge & Whetstone tube station () is a London Underground station in Whetstone of the London Borough of Barnet, North London. The station is the penultimate one on the High Barnet branch of the Northern line, between Woodside Park and High Barnet stations, in Travelcard Zone 4. The station is on the northern side of Totteridge Lane (A5109),〔(Google Maps - Totteridge and Whetstone Tube Station )〕 somewhat to the east of the Dollis Brook (the traditional boundary between Totteridge and Whetstone) hence is in Whetstone. ==History== Totteridge & Whetstone station was planned by the Edgware, Highgate and London Railway (EH&LR) and was originally opened as Whetstone and Totteridge on 1 April 1872 by the Great Northern Railway (which had taken over the EH&LR).〔(Clive's Underground Line Guides - Northern Line, Dates )〕 The station was on a branch line that ran from Finsbury Park to Edgware via Highgate. After the 1921 Railways Act created the ''Big Four'' railway companies the line was, from 1923, part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER). The section of the High Barnet branch north of East Finchley was incorporated into the London Underground network through the "Northern Heights" project which begun in the late 1930s. Totteridge and Whetstone station was first served by Northern line trains on 14 April 1940〔 〕 and, after a period where the station was serviced by both operators, LNER services ended in 1941.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Totteridge & Whetstone tube station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
