Talk:Stratford station

This article needs a platform map

I find the list of platforms rather confusing without a map to show which is which. -mattbuck (Talk) 00:02, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

I did have in mind one day to draw a sketch illustrating the historical changes to the platforms but don't hold your breath!--Davidvaughanwells (talk) 11:33, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Hall Farm Curve

The preceding station on the Hall Farm Curve is shown as either Ilford or Coborn Road. Is this correct? I don't know much about the curve but can't see where Ilford comes into it. --TBM10 (talk) 18:34, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

I don't think Hall Farm curve should be on this page at all. It was a link from Lea Bridge to St James Street on the Chingford Branch so the only reason I can think of it being on here is someone trying to cover all routes out of Stratford given Lea Bridge has been closed although its phoenix like reopening is of course imminent. Suggest deleting line from Stratford page as its misleading.--Davidvaughanwells (talk) 11:21, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Having looked at it again I think the entry should read Coborn Road - Lea Bridge and be allocated to the West Anglian Main Line entry. Historically it was the first route of the West Anglian Main Line but when Hackney Downs - Clapton - Tottenham Hale opened most passenger trains were diverted that way and for some years (1985-20??) it was only served by a parliamentary service from Enfield Town via South Tottenham. The Lea Valley Lines entry might also be appropriate for this entry.

Future service: Stansted Express?

The Stansted Express is listed under 'future services', but no mention of a direct route (ie. no change required) is made on that article. Is such a thing planned? If the answer is no, the route is via change of train at Tottenham Hale, then this is surely a 'current' service as listed on Stansted Express' own website?

Information found! Will add to the SE article Grunners (talk) 10:00, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

"Stansted Express may call at Stratford in the future via the West Anglia Main Line, reconnecting the two to each other."

Reconnecting the two what? This is a rather unclear statement. The Stansted Express is a Service, not a line.

Stansted and Stratford - there have been plans around for years to divert two of the four trains per hour via Stratford. Not sure when (if?) it will actually happen though.Davidvaughanwells (talk) 09:19, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
