sometimes i am surprised lea bridge station ever shut in the first

place.

The only passenger trains booked to pass the site of Lea Bridge station

are
the 0817 Cheshunt to Stratford and 1748 return.

Pretty negligible service if when it was open.
If I recall at time of closure it was a peak-hour Stratford Low Level to
Tottenham Hale DMU My records show closure was 5th July 1985
One wonders if it does reopen, will the TOC presumably it will be First
Anglia or what it is going to call itself, will provide - maybe some
local trains via Tottenham Hale will run via Stratford to Liverpool
Street.


I think one idea is to divert North London Line trains to Stratford High
Level then Lea Bridge and Tottenham Hale once the DLR has taken over the
North Woolwich branch.
