The line was closed to passengers on 7 January 1963.[1] With freight usage dwindling to a trickle following the ending of passenger services, the goods yard was closed on 7 December 1964.[2] The site of the goods yard was used for the construction of a large apartment block known as The Sandlings,[3] and Noel Park & Wood Green railway station was converted into commercial premises, before being demolished in the early 1970s to become the site of the eastern section of Wood Green Shopping City.[4]
