Mornington Crescent Underground station

Mornington Crescent Underground station

Mornington Crescent is a London Underground station in Camden Town in north west London, named after the nearby street. The station is on the Charing Cross branch of the Northern Line, between and. It is in Travelcard Zone 2.The station was opened as part of the original route of the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway (now the Charing Cross branch of the Northern Line) on 22 June 1907. Prior to the station's opening, the name of "Seymour Street" had been proposed. After opening, it was little used, and for many years it was open only on weekdays, and before 1966 Edgware-bound trains passed through without stopping.Location and position on the Northern LineThe station is situated at the southern end of Camden High Street, where it meets Hampstead Road and Eversholt Street. This junction forms the north-western corner of the boundary of Somers Town, with Camden Town situated to the north and Regent's Park Estate to the south of the station.The station's location on the Northern Line is unusual due to the dual-branch nature of that line. On the branch, Mornington Crescent is between and. The City branch also runs from Camden Town to Euston, but via tunnels which take an entirely different route to the Charing Cross branch and which do not pass through Mornington Crescent. Although contemporary tube maps show Mornington Crescent to the west of the City branch tunnels, it is in fact to the east of them: the two branches cross over one another at Euston, so that between Euston and Camden Town, the City branch tunnels run to the west of the Charing Cross branch on which Mornington Crescent is situated. Harry Beck's 1933 tube map represented this correctly.

Secondo quanto pianificato la ristrutturazione avrebbe dovuto impiegare un anno. Tuttavia lo stato di abbandono che la stazione conobbe negli anni precedenti fece sì che Mornington Crescent fu chiusa per la maggior parte degli anni novanta; si propose persino una sua chiusura definitiva.Per evitare che la stazione venisse chiusa vi fu una campagna; ad essa vi parteciparono moltissime persone in quanto la stazione è tenuta in grande considerazione dal famoso gioco della BBC I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, in cui appare frequentamente Mornington Crescent.
