Stage 3 extended northwards. After a connection from the GN&CR

Park, and trains would run to Cuffley, replacing the existing LNER
services to KX. - In tube to Seven Sisters (tube station), then
surface and continue to Enfield Town, replacing the existing LNER
services to Liverpool Street.

What happened between Stevenage and Cuffley? And on the Southbury loop?

Between 1919 and 1960 the Southbury Loop had only freight services.

Excellent fact, thankyou.

Interesting that it closed and reopened like that; off the top of my head,
i'm not aware of any other examples of long-closed stations in London
reopening (ie not bomb damage etc cases). For those who don't care to read
the wikipedia article, it opened in 1891, closed in 1909 after the trams
came to Waltham Cross and out-competed it, reopened briefly during WWI
"for the benefit of munitions workers", presumably at the Royal Gunpowder
Mills, at Waltham Abbey, then closed again. Reopened in 1960 when the
whole area was electrified.
