HighGate Disused Station And Tunnels, London (Urbex) 

It was built as a normal railway in 1867 hence the other older platforms near the bat tunnel. Then rebuilt in the 1880's, also added to in 1935 for the underground line as you see it now.

This video brings back so many memories. I remember exploring Highgate High Level in the winter, with several inches of snow on the platforms!!!!!!

You would have loved london in the 80s alot of good stuff been built over or on … still places to go if you know … esp on the tube lines 👀shhhhh😂😂😂😂

Would of originally gone via Alexandra palace to finsbury park connecting up to the northern line via drayton park , and to east finchley as part of the proposed Northern heights extension of the northern line after the war . 1954 was the last time goods trains ran through those tunnels , 1970 was when the track through the station and the tunnels were lifted .mainline size bores for the tunnel design but yet intended for tube stock as proposed , locals have heard the sound of a train in that location , not beneath, but actually above ground through that station .On your return back , the live railway you see leads up to high gate depot sidings , which is a stabling point for the northern line

The corrugated section 01:11 between the platforms is in fact the roof of the underground part of the station below. You lucky sods! I've always wanted to see inside the tunnels 07:00 and not for the bloody bats neither. The oval shape is because they were built for main line stock which was steam powered of course and the extra height is for the steam to have somewhere to dissipate. The little nooks 09:04 are for line workers to duck into when a train was coming.

First video i seen from you deffo subbed

The Waking The Dead episode 'Thin Air' was partially filmed at these tunnels

Great video & nice pics at end of video too 👍

you can visit this station with hidden London your if interested Visiting hear and like to see it for yourself 😄

@10:53- my local railway club would kill for that balllast!!!!

Brick wall at the end reminds me of thomas the tank episode where engine left in the tunnel haha

Another great find

@16:03- I distinctly remember the cast iron tube-like lining at the Alexandra Palace end of the left-hand tunnel.

ALSO THE MORE STANDARD TUBE TUNNEL LOOKING NORTH INTO WARDS HIGHGATE DEPOT WAS A REPAIR JOB AFTER WWII AIR RAID HIGHGATE DEPOT WAS ALSO THE HOME OF THE ROYAL TRAIN WHICH HAD IT OWN SHED COVERING BOTH ENGINERS SIDING AND 1 ROAD AS THEY ARE KNOWN TODAY

According to a magazine (Underground - 9, printed in 1981) one of the tunnels (the right?) was bombdamaged during WW2.

Your flashlight is identical to mine. Bright aren't they!!

I worked many trains through there, both ways.

His squidgy trainer annoyed my soul

That is so odd, one tunnel has a fence at the end, and the other has a brick wall. Why the heck wouldn't they be similar since the both have doors at the other end.

The film 'Paperhouse' had a scene that used this station.

I named my g-mail address after this station!!!!

@7:54-I didn't know there was a connecting tunnel between the running tunnels!!

I'm guessing that's not the HighGate cemetery station, that would be well closed.

Were is that tunnel id like 2 check it out

They shutdown my amtrak station before I was born in 1955

It's Highgate
