History
The main line of the Great Northern Railway (GNR) between Peterborough and London (Maiden Lane) was opened on 7 August 1850;[2] and Barnet was one of the original stations on the line.[3] On 1 May 1884, the station was renamed New Barnet.[4] The goods yard closed in 1966.[5] In 1896, the station was rebuilt to its modern form by re-siting the down platform opposite the existing up platform and providing a new brick structure on the new platform.[3]
On 7 July 1989, the original station booking office, mounted on the station bridge linking the platforms, was badly damaged in an arson attack.[3] The building had just undergone an expensive restoration which made it one of the best such structures in the London area.[3][6] A Nissen hut was provided in replacement on the western side of the station before a permanent structure was eventually provided.[3]
Facilities
Following the major station refurbishment in 2005, a café was opened in the previously unused building on the southbound, central London-bound platform.[7] In autumn 2008, a new SHERE self-service ticket machine, accepting both cash and credit cards, was installed here (and similarly at other local First Capital Connect stations). The station serves the area of New Barnet and the small shopping parade around East Barnet Road.
