[edit] Booking office fire
The original station booking office, mounted on the station bridge linking the platforms, was burnt down in 1989. The station was refurbished shortly before this incident.[1].
[edit] Services
The service from the station runs southbound to Moorgate on weekdays until about 9.30pm. Trains run southbound into London King's Cross in the early mornings, morning peak, after 9.30pm Mondays to Fridays, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays.
