Holloway Road tube station

Holloway Road is a station on the Piccadilly Line of the London Underground, between Caledonian Road and Arsenal stations, and in Travelcard Zone 2. It was opened on 15 December 1906.
The station was built with two lift shafts, but only one was ever used for lifts. The second was the site of an experimental spiral escalator which was used only for a day or so after its opening. Remains of the escalator are stored at the London Transport Museum Depot in Acton.
The station is scheduled for redevelopment and expansion, to handle the extra traffic expected when the the Emirates Stadium, the new home of Arsenal football club, opens in 2006.
