CHANGING STATIONS IN THE LEA VALLEY

As one closes, another opens: the Department for Transport has begun formal closure proceedings for Angel Road station in north east London. The closure is planned for May 2019, when a new station at Meridian Water will open 580 metres to the south as part of Network Rail’s Lee Valley Rail Programme. On 31 August 2018 the new station is taking shape in this view from the platforms of the station it is to replace. Iain C. Scotchman
