Angel Road railway station is in the London Borough of Enfield at Edmonton in north east London, and is in Travelcard Zone 4, on the Tottenham Hale branch of the Lea Valley Lines. The station, and all trains serving it, is operated by National Express East Anglia. It is partially located beneath the A406 road (which is named Angel Road at that point). Due to reconstruction of the A406 in the mid-1990s (involving grade-separation), the station no longer has an entrance on Angel Road, with the only access via a footpath running south from Conduit Lane to the north. The station is unstaffed.

Services

Prior to December 2005 the typical off-peak service from the station was one train per hour to Bishop's Stortford and one train per hour to London Liverpool Street.

As a result of timetable changes Angel Road now only gets one train a day to and from Liverpool Street, with the remainder of the service operating to and from Stratford. There is no service on weekdays before 05:55, between 10:00 and 15:45, or after 20:00, and no service at weekends or public holidays.

The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Network SouthEast until the Privatisation of British Railways.
