You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.87.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:04, 19 October 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''West Finchley''' is a [[London Underground]] station in the [[Finchley]] area of the [[London Borough of Barnet]]. The station is on the [[Northern line#High Barnet branch|High Barnet branch]] of the [[Northern line]] between [[Woodside Park tube station|Woodside Park]] and [[Finchley Central tube station|Finchley Central]] stations and is in [[Travelcard Zone 4]].<ref>((cite map/Standard Tube Map))</ref>

==History==
The station was opened by the [[London and North Eastern Railway|London & North Eastern Railway]] (LNER) on 1 March 1933 on its line to [[High Barnet tube station|High Barnet]].<ref name=CULG_1>[http://www.davros.org/rail/culg/northern.html#dates Clive's Underground Line Guides – Northern Line, Dates]</ref> It opened to serve new housing developing in the area and was built with only modest station structures from the outset. Many fittings were taken from stations in the north of England. It has been written that the footbridge came from [[Ryhill railway station|Wintersett and Ryhill]] on the [[Barnsley Coal Railway]] in Yorkshire, which had closed in 1930.<ref>((cite book|last1=Pevsner & Cherry|title=London: North|date=2002|publisher=Yale University Press|location=New Haven, Conn.|isbn=9780300096538|page=[https://archive.org/details/london4north0000unse/page/124 124]|url=https://archive.org/details/london4north0000unse/page/124))</ref> However, that footbridge looks different and Jago Hazzard speculates that it actually came from the next station on that line, [[Notton and Royston railway station|Notton and Royston]].<ref>Jago Hazzard: ((YouTube|id=mP5pPJdpWh4|time=4m52s|title=West Finchley, the Secondhand Station?))</ref>

The section of the High Barnet branch north of [[East Finchley tube station|East Finchley]] was incorporated into the London Underground network through the "[[Northern line#The Northern Heights plan|Northern Heights]]" project begun in the late 1930s. West Finchley station was first served by Northern line trains on 14 April 1940<ref name=rose>((cite book |last=Rose |first=Douglas  |title=The London Underground, A Diagrammatic History |year=1999 |publisher=Douglas Rose/Capital Transport |isbn=1-85414-219-4))</ref> and, after a period where the station was serviced by both operators, LNER services ended in 1941.<ref name=CULG_1/>

==Local information==
((unreferenced section|date=March 2015))
The main entrance is in Nether Street; there is a small front garden between the pavement and the building containing the booking office, though it is not accessible to the public (there are high fences on each side of the path).  Access to the northbound platform by wheelchair and with push-chair is straightforward, though it is necessary to cross a footbridge to reach the southbound platform.  Although there is an entrance directly onto the south-bound platform, it is only open during the morning rush hour. This small entrance was closed for security reasons during the weeks following the [[7 July 2005 London bombings]] although it has now reopened.

==Ticket office closure==
London Underground Limited announced in June 2007 that due to reduced demand for tickets bought from ticket offices (as opposed to from machines) around 40 of the most lightly used ticket offices at Tube stations will close from March 2008.<ref name=TOclosure>((cite web |url=http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/media/newscentre/5267.aspx |title=Oyster success leads Tube ticket office changes |access-date=19 November 2007 |date=12 June 2007 |publisher= [[Transport for London]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071103094744/http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/media/newscentre/5267.aspx <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date=3 November 2007))</ref> The list of stations includes West Finchley.<ref name=TOclosure />
