"The station sits on the Greater Anglia line between Tottenham Hale and Stratford, and it reopened after 31 years out of action nearly a decade ago. It actually dates all the way back to 1840 but closed in 1985 after falling into disrepair."
"Plans for the station's upgrade were initially announced in 2020, and work was expected to begin in 2021. Of course, lockdown put everything on hold for a couple of years, but then plans were officially approved in 2023."
"The expansion will support the area's growing housing development. Waltham Forest Council has confirmed that 387 homes are planned for the area around the station, all of which will be designated 'affordable' homes."
Lea Bridge station, which reopened in 2016 after 31 years, is set for a major upgrade. The project includes a new ticket office, larger entrance, and improved accessibility features. Construction will start this summer and is expected to continue until 2027. The upgrade aims to accommodate the growing local population, with 387 affordable homes planned nearby. Additional features include automatic ticket gates, a retail unit, and a cycle hub for 130 bikes, enhancing the station's functionality and user experience.
