Meridian Water railway station is on the

Lea Valley Lines in Edmonton in the London Borough of Enfield, north London. It opened on 3 June 2019.[3] The station is approximately 580 metres (630 yd) south of the closed Angel Road railway station, which Meridian Water has replaced.[4]

Layout

The new station has three platforms but passive provision for four has been made; the built platforms are numbered 2–4. Platform 1 remains unbuilt with no track laid, but space has been allowed for when required in the future.[1] It is expected 4 million people will use the station annually.[5] There are steps and lifts giving access to Meridian Way immediately to the east; there is also access to the west, which is to be the location of new housing in the Meridian Water development.

In August 2019, it was announced that funding had been approved for construction of a fourth platform and a new section of track between

Tottenham Hale and Meridian Water to enable up to 8 trains per hour to serve the station at peak times.[6]
