"Normally, the Stansted Express runs between Liverpool Street and Stansted Airport via Tottenham Hale. However, due to engineering works at Tottenham Hale over the Bank Holiday Weekend, they are being diverted* via Seven Sisters instead."
"The trains will run as usual between Liverpool Street and Hackney Downs, but instead of turning right towards Tottenham Hale, they will turn left instead. Passing through Seven Sisters, they will run up the London Overground's Weaver line and up to Cheshunt, where they will rejoin the usual mainline route to Stansted."
"Not so good for airport users as the diversion will add around 15 minutes to journey times, but if you want to see a Stansted train where it shouldn't be, then this is your chance."
"The diversions will take place on: Saturday 23rd May to Monday 25th May 2026 Saturday 30th May 2026 to Sunday 31st May 2026 *yes, they run along the diversion route each day, but at a god-awful hour, so this is a chance to see them in the daytime."
Stansted Express normally runs between Liverpool Street and Stansted Airport via Tottenham Hale. Engineering works at Tottenham Hale over the Bank Holiday Weekend will cause diversions via Seven Sisters. Trains will still operate between Liverpool Street and Hackney Downs, then turn left instead of right toward Tottenham Hale. After passing through Seven Sisters, trains will run along the London Overground Weaver line to Cheshunt, where they will rejoin the usual mainline route to Stansted. The diversion adds about 15 minutes to journey times, which is less convenient for airport users. The change offers daytime opportunities to photograph trains in unusual locations. Diversions run on Saturday 23 May to Monday 25 May 2026, and Saturday 30 May to Sunday 31 May 2026.
