Edmonton: Angel Road railway station
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 10 Jun 2008
Angel Road has to be one of the least used railway stations in London. It is nowhere near any houses, near only a few industrial premises and demands a walk along busy main roads to its only point of access. This is reflected in the number of trains that stop here during the day, about 10 during the morning rush-hour and then about 10 again during the evening rush-hour with a six hour gap in between. Yet oddly the station pre-dated all the general growth of Edmonton and was built as a country station where Angel Road, now the North Circular, crossed the line. Here a southbound National Express train, not stopping of course, runs through the deserted station. For the train-spotters the leading unit was 317 732.
