The article currently tries way too hard to explain the entire context and history of every line that passes through the station, making it a bit unwieldy. I think a lot of it could be summarised without losing anything. --Dtcdthingy 21:54, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Finsbury Park station does have a very complicated history with all the different railway companies that have served the station and the reconfigurations that it has undergone and to fully reflect that in an encyclopaedic manner does require quite an extensive and detailed article.

- But on Wikipedia, the history of each line is only a click away, so there isn't really any need to repeat them here. For example, this article contains a pretty much complete history of the Northern Heights plan, rather than just the parts that would have affected Finsbury Park. Similarly, what does the Moorgate tube crash have to do with anything? I'll try to prune some of it myself when I get the chance. --Dtcdthingy 00:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

- I do agree that unnecessary duplication of information across a number of articles should be avoided; however, if the article is to properly present the history of the station in a complete narrative manner, the context needs to be given and there does have to be some reuse. The balance of what needs to be included for context and what can be left to be discovered by clicking on links for more information is a fine line, but, personally, I feel that the article is more readable and is more informative without the need to keep clicking on links elsewhere to find the context.

- I don't agree that a "full history" of the northern heights plan is given here only what is relevant to Finsbury Park itself. As the starting point for the branch and where the branch and the Northern City Line were to be connected together, a significant amount of information needs to be given. There is much more that can be said about the Northern Heights plan that is included in the Northern Heights section in the Northern Line article and also at the Edgware, Highgate and London Railway article and the various articles on the Northern Heights stations but which is not repeated here.

- There may, perhaps, be slightly more than needed on the Moorgate crash, but it is partly relevant as many people who are unaware of the pre-existing plans to transfer the Highbury branch to British Rail think that the crash was the reason for the transfer.

-
- My personal preference for the article is for a single historical narrative without the artificial split between National Rail and tube. It avoids the need to chop the timeline between the two parts of the station and the duplication this causes. That is how I originally wrote most of what is here before the article was split on 24 December last year. I note that, since it has been rearranged again, the order of the two sections on the City Line has been reversed and the see above and see below links are the wrong way round and could be omitted if the paragraphs were merged.

- But the whole issue of the transfer and the crash are NCL issues. I've pruned quite a few things that concerned the NCL (or other lines) in general but weren't directly related to Finsbury Park. --Dtcdthingy 23:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
