Just east of where the piccadilly line crosses the central line east
of hangar lane theres a spur line curving off north from the main line
which looks like its recently been lifted (on google maps) that heads
off into an industrial estate and terminates just the other side of
the road to the grand union canal. Anyone know what this spur was used
for?

Has it closed or does it all go by road now?

I think the rail connection was disused well before the brewery closed.
The brewery was soon demolished and the area is now turning into an
office park, with an increasing need for public transport (given that
the North Circular and A40 are very slow moving in the mornings).

Isn't there a plan for another new underground station associated with the
development?

I wonder of Google will ever implement a historic Google Maps or
Google Earth, so you could flick through images of areas such as this
of say 1,2,5 or 10 years ago and see how they changed. I think it
would be quite fascinating. I suppose the only way you could do it at
the moment is screen grab whatever its showing at the time and saving
the images for posterity.
