Applegreen - Bounds Green Road, Wood Green, North London N11 2QH 2
Back in January I traveled by train to London to visit my uncle and aunt. Whilst on the train from Cambridge to Kings Cross, a direct non stop service, I saw this garage out of the window of the train. I was surprised that I had never noticed it before, but then realised the train was taking a different route into London to the normal one, via Hertford. I made a note of it then, and made sure I would return later on and get some photos, as I had not done so previously.
This was a Total site in the earliest Streetview, then switched to Shell up to about 2014 when it changed to Applegreen. Of course there was a sense of urgency to the situation as it was likely to change to EG on the Move soon. As can be seen on Streetview it is situated absolutely adjacent to the railway line. Surprisingly along the main road here there are only one or two dates of Streetview available but moving to a side street allowed me to see its previous branding history. It also doesn't help that the owner of the house next door didn't want their property to be displayed on Streetview so part of the image is blurred out. I've added a view of it when it was a Shell site, and below Chris Greene's photo of it when branded Total. In his photo he claims it is now EG on the Move, but clearly not quite fully yet as can be seen in my photo here! It's still listed as Applegreen on Google maps just now, but the change is no doubt imminent. The front of the building now reads EG Bounds Green Services.
