I can't disagree and said so in my original post that it pre dated the '50's, but having checked with later maps, the two station buildings appear in the same place, which would suggest the footbridge connecting the two would follow the same line. I will keep searching for more conclusive evidence from the 50's, but at least it's a start.

I have pics which clearly show the two outer platforms with ramps down towards KX and the centre platform with a ramp in the opposite direction, which would suggest it was unchanged all those years later.

If you can find one, an issue of the quarterly London Railway Record of around 12-18 months ago had a colour feature of Wood Green photos in its centre, including one or two at platform level: might give one or two clues.

There are a number of photos of Wood Green station in Peter Coster's The Book of the Great Northern Part One (Irwell). These may help.

I hope this works, it's a good low down picture of Wood Green, with a nice picture of a K3, the other interesting view in this picture is the height of the platform, it's as low as Finsbury Park, at one point in the 1920 to 1940 period, it's been raised, any more information.
