"It only lasted very briefly from 1850 to 1852"
Damn, only two minutes! That really is brief!

Please follow up on the funeral station before the trail goes cold.

Yeh, we're all dying to see that video on the Funeral Station! 🤣⚰

I do hope that gorgeous oxblood frontage at York Road is never demolished.

Going into backstreets and peering over parapets. Jago know s what we like.

We used to play in Coaldrops as a kid. For the best idea of what it used to look like watch either "The Ladykillers" or there is one episode of The Sweeney that is filmed around Camley Street where the now nature reserve is. It is utterly different.

Every time I go on Thameslink I look out for the old Kings Cross platforms as I can remember sitting on there waiting for a train with my then young children.  Where has all that time gone indeed!

Thank you. When growing up in the 1950-early 60s (halcyon train spotting days), I always wondered what a lot of these old dumps were. So today thanks to Jago I know🇨🇦

0:23 You had me at ‘Abandoned Bus Depot’ and yes, I know how that sounds 😅

6:41 there was a 2nd ‘King’s Cross York Road’ station too on the Mainline right next to the terminus (1863 - 1976) as featured in Londonist’s Bonus Secrets of the Underground!

Very interesting! I live near the disused York Road station. It's a fair walk (in London terms) to a nearby tube station. We really do need it to reopen.

I never thought i’d see a plot twist in a jago video

I also ask myself when did I get so old...

"When did I get so olllllllllllld" I felt that exact feeling too as soon as you mentioned 2007

last time i was this early i rode behind fowler's ghost

I retired in 2008 but for a while in the early 2000s I ran an IT project in St Albans, and we held client progress meetings in our London offices near King's Cross. So I was a regular on the Thameslink from St Albans to King's Cross Thameslink (KCT) for a few years.
A few years ago (before covid, so not THAT recently but time speeds up as one gets older and I'm 77 now) I took a modern Thameslink train from Brighton to Kings Cross proper, to catch a train home to Cheshire from Euston.
It was earie to pass though KCT station and see it abandoned when it had been so busy just a few years before.

Still surprised that the York Road station is not re-opened. Interesting video. Thanks

With so many abandoned stations all round King's Cross, you could start a public transport system. Pretty small scale, though...

Justice for the King’s Cross York Road station (1863 - 1976) for being left out ✊

(separate one to the Piccadilly station)

Can I join in the chorus for Kings Cross York Road for GN trains running to Moorgate pre 1975?
