Trains to Northumberland Park - Station Details and further Information on Northumberland Park Train Services
Northumberland Park train station is located in Northumberland Park, London, United Kingdom. The stations and all trains servicing it are operated by National Express East Anglia.
Northumberland Park was opened on 15 September 1840 as a Halt on the Northern & Eastern Railway. It is in Travelcard Zone 3. The station was originally named Marsh Lane after the country lane to Tottenham Marshes on which it is situated. In June 1852, it was re-named Park station, eventually being re-named to its current title, Northumberland Park on 1 July 1923, this is also the name of the surrounding district, in Tottenham, North London. The station is immediately south of one of north London's few remaining level crossings. The station is a short walk from White Hart Lane stadium of Tottenham Hotspur F.C.
Northumberland Park Depot of London Underground's Victoria Line was constructed alongside the station during the late 1960s. A branch line leads to a junction north of Seven Sisters tube station.
Haringey Council supports proposals for platforms for the Victoria Line to be built at Northumberland Park. These would be to the east of the main line platforms between the main line and the Northumberland Park Depot. This was supported by the former Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone. It is claimed that this would aid regeneration of the area and better transport links would have to be part of plans to increase capacity at White Hart Lane. However Network Rail have their own plans for the West Anglia Main Line which involves 4 tracking the line and therefore there would be no room for the London Underground Station. |
