Greater Anglia to end its peak-time service at Edmonton Green as part of timetable change

Edmonton Green Station will no longer be served by National Rail services after new timetables are introduced in May.

A number of peak-time Greater Anglia trains currently stop at Edmonton Green on their way to Liverpool Street, as part of the Hertford East branch line, providing eight trains per hour in total when combined with London Overground services.

However, from 21^st May the Greater Anglia services will travel via Tottenham Hale instead, meaning only London Overground trains will serve Edmonton Green in future. It means peak-time services at the station will be reduced to six trains per hour.

The move is part of a new timetable being introduced by Greater Anglia to boost services on its ‘Stansted Express’ route, which will offer four trains per hour at peak times from May for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began three years ago.

The news comes as rail fares across the national network increased by 5.9% yesterday (Monday).

Jamie Burles, managing director at Greater Anglia, said: “With new trains already on most of our services, we are transforming rail travel in our region, offering an excellent travel experience, more seats, and a more punctual and reliable service. We’ll continue to adjust our timetable in line with emerging demand and look to make further improvements whenever practical, working with regional partners (such as the Stansted Airport team) on the case for additional services wherever appropriate.”
