Reopen Finsbury Park to Edgware rail route

If you enjoy supporting lost causes you could do worse than sign this petition:

It hasn't a snowball in Hell's chance as the Parkland Walk is now firmly established as a local amenity and there would be fierce resistance to any rail revival along its route.

Interesting idea but no chance of even a tramway now, lovely walk and a bat sanctuary in the tunnel.

60 years too late! The Parkland Walk is now firmly with us (and a handy walking/cycle route for us locals).

Jago Hazzard suggested an interesting alternative - run a tram/trolley route in the vague routing of this, but going via the hill around Wood Green/Ally Pally instead. I support this decision as it would not majorly (at the very least) disrupt the Parkland Walk, well-known for trespassers on bridges over nothing in 2009
