History
The station opened in 1870 as "Barnsbury" replacing the 1852 Caledonian Road station which was slightly west of the present site.<ref>Disused Stations: Barnsbury</ref> Barnsbury was renamed "Caledonian Road & Barnsbury" in 1893.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Between 14 May 1979 and 11 May 1985 the station was served by the Crosstown Linkline diesel multiple unit service between Camden Road and North Woolwich.
To allow four-car trains to run on the London Overground network, the North London line between Template:Rws and Stratford closed in February 2010, and reopened 1 June that year, in order for a new signalling system to be installed and 30 platforms to be extended. After the reopening the work continued until May 2011 with a reduced service and none on Sundays.<ref name="nll-closure">Template:Cite news</ref>
