"Bowes Park Station dates from 1880 - it was built as an additional station on the already-existing GNR line. In a recent article in The London Railway Record, Peter Kay provides a detailed history.
"For a period there were two bridges over the rail line - just a few yards apart - which seperated rail passengers from pedestrians passing over the tracks. this second bridge was removed in the 1970s.
"Bowes Park was, in its time, a very busy station - and only began to see a decline in passenger numbers with the opening in 1932 of Bounds Green station on the the extension of the Piccadily Line to Cockfosters."
