| Yet to be wired up trolleybus terminus, available from 8th May 1938 with the introduction of routes 629 and 641. The 641 turned short here every 5 minutes during the Mon - Fri peaks, with an odd 629 running out of course. The terminus for trolleybuses fell victim to replacement diesel buses in 1961. |

When the Piccadilly Line of the Underground opened to Arnos Grove on 19 Sepetember 1932 The MET opened, on the same day, two tram stations, one at Manor House, and the other here at Turnpike Lane. The station here, sited to the west of Green Lanes, consisted of two 80 foot long loading islands used by tram services 34 Alexandra Palace, and 51 Alexandra Palace - Aldersgate. The islands were used by trams until 1938 and by the replacement buses to 6th September 1968 being demolished shortly afterwards. |
