Edmonton Green
Edmonton Green station, opened by the GER in 1872 and known as Lower Edmonton until 1992, looking north-west towards Enfield Town and Cheshunt, on 12th August 2019. Just beyond the station, the 1872 route made a connection with the original Eastern Counties Railway route of 1849 from Angel Road while further north west at Bury Street Junction, the Southbury Loop of 1891 diverges to Cheshunt. This opened as the Churchbury Loop in 1891 but suffered from tramway competition and closed to passengers in 1909 but reopened during the First World War only to close again in 1919. It was fully reopened in November 1960 with the electrification of the north-east London routes from Liverpool Street with three reopened stations, Southbury (formerly Churchbury), Turkey Street (formerly Forty Hill) and Theobald's Grove, the only one to retain its original name.
