Nightmare' Finsbury Park entrance closure POSTPONED until further n..., Transport for London confirms

The long-term closure of a Finsbury Park station entrance - which commuters feared would spell years of chaos - has been postponed until further notice.

Transport for London (TfL) had planned to shut the Wells Terrace entrance to Finsbury Park station for two-and-a-half years for renovation work.

But today it said the closure, which was set to take effect from Monday, was being delayed to "minimise disruption".............[info deleted]....

A spokesman for TfL said: "We are reviewing our options of how best to continue to deliver improvements at Finsbury Park Tube station."

Yes work postponed UFN. Ticket gates are in place at both Seven Sisters and Station Place (LU) entrances. They have been wired up ready and tested and are covered over. Not sure why the postponement as construction of the new entrance necessitates the demolition of the Wells Terrace passageway. Still no joy from either TfL or NR as to why the NR entrance at Station Place remains ungated. As I said in earlier postings - makes no sense if your gating the other two entrances to leave this one open for everyone to use for free access to the tube platforms!!
