Harold Wood

Harold Wood, Essex, looking east on 18th May 2022. The line was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1840 but this station was not opened until 1st December 1868 by the Great Eastern Railway which inherited the ECR on 1st January 1862. The main line platforms on the fast tracks (right) are now fenced off out of use. On 24th May 2022, TfL Rail was rebranded Elizabeth Line in connection with the much delayed opening of the Paddington to Abbey Wood section and this station will in a year or so's time be served by through EL trains between Shenfield and Heathrow or Reading, running under London from just east of Liverpool Street and serving the new EL station there. For the time being, trains from Shenfield still run into and out of Liverpool Street main line station.
