Couldn't find anything of substance on this recently. What's the deal with Drayton Park depot?
Most of the unused land is just idle. The depot building is still there, for what purpose unknown. Clearly this land is of interest to Network Rail or it would likely have been filled in and the developments next to Arsenal stadium extended over it; maybe even on top of Drayton Park station to make it subsurface.
It seems sad that it's just left to weed over, looking highly unattractive as you pass through the station. Even a couple of stabling sidings for Moorgate stock would improve the area (if they could be appropriately secured), though nothing like that is clearly needed or it would have been done.
