Worth noting that the Sat only 0530 from Liverpool St to Enfield is not running via South Tottenham at the moment. This is because the old electric overhead wiring through South Tottenham has been removed. It and the short stretches on connecting tracks will be reinstated as part of the GOBLIN electrification project.


Prior to the wires being removed, were these curves ever used during
engineering works? You'd think the tracks through Stamford Hill would be
closed the odd Sunday, but I don't recall it happening.


I seem to remmeber that the answer is yes, and not too long ago. I
ca't remember the details though,.
