Can anyone verify this Flickr shot?

I think this is quite a rare shot of a Pollitt F2 at Finsbury Park or Stratford but can anyone confirm this? See discussion on Flickr link below.

Finsbury Park did have a single line between platforms 8 and 9 on the Down side of the station.

The loco is actually F2 E7111, based at King's Cross. The E prefix dates the picture from 13-3-1948 until withdrawal, 12-1950.

The loco is working the Alexandra Palace Push-Pull service.
