Caledonian Road & Barnsbury is a station on the Mildmay line of the London Overground, located in the London Borough of Islington in north London.

The station is situated in Travelcard Zone 2. There is an official out-of-station interchange with Caledonian Road tube station on the Piccadilly line of the London Underground, located a 660 metres (2,170 ft) walk away.

History

The station opened in 1870 as "Barnsbury" replacing the 1852 Caledonian Road station which was slightly west of the present site. Barnsbury was renamed "Caledonian Road & Barnsbury" in 1893.

Between 14 May 1979 and 11 May 1985 the station was served by the Crosstown Linkline diesel multiple unit service between Camden Road and North Woolwich.

To allow four-car trains to run on the London Overground network, the North London line between Gospel Oak and Stratford closed in February 2010, and reopened 1 June that year, in order for a new signalling system to be installed and 30 platforms to be extended. After the reopening the work continued until May 2011 with a reduced service and none on Sundays.

Design

The station entrance on Offord Street leads to the old westbound platform (until February 2010) from which a footbridge gives access to the newer island platforms, numbered 2 and 3, probably to distinguish them from the old platform 1. There is a footpath, with Oyster readers, from Caledonian Road to the entrance.
