Theobalds Grove
The refurbished entrance hall to Theobalds Grove station, most northerly on the Southbury Loop, serving a part of Waltham Cross, and the only one to retain its original name when the Churchbury Loop as was reopened on electrification in 1960 after 41 years and re-christened the Southbury Loop. Churchbury station became Southbury and Forty Hill station was renamed Turkey Street. All three had originally opened in 1891 but closed in 1909 due to tramway competition. A brief reopening occurred between 1915 and 1919 before the permanent 1960 reopening when many local residents at the time could hardly believe
their derelict old railway really had been brought back to life. This line and station were transferred to TfL ownership as an additional part of the London Overground network on 31st May 2015.
