The station is heavily used on match day football games for local side Tottenham Hotspur and there is a match day special timetable for this station with some trains arriving and departing every few minutes from the station. On match days, three hours before kick-off, trains from Hertford East, Bishops Stortford and sometimes even Cambridge and Stansted Airport call at White Hart Lane. This also continues for two hours after the match, with trains starting and terminating here as well.
The railway station is the nearest to the stadium as it is about three minutes walk away from Tottenham Hotspur's ground, White Hart Lane. The special timetables are usually the same but recently trains from Liverpool Street skip out the stops between the London terminus and White Hart Lane station and sometimes it will also pass Seven Sisters station which has London Underground links.
The station is also near to Bruce Castle Park, at which the annual Tottenham Carnival is held, usually in mid-June.
The typical off-peak service from the station is: 4tph (trains per hour) to London Liverpool Street via Hackney Downs calling at all stations 2tph to Cheshunt calling at Silver Street, Edmonton Green, Southbury, Turkey Street and Theobalds Grove 2tph to Enfield Town calling at Silver Street, Edmonton Green and Bush Hill Park
The buses serving this station are London bus route 149, 259, 279, 349, W3 and Night route N279.
