Crouch Hill railway station is a London Overground station on Crouch Hill between Stroud Green and Crouch End in the London Borough of Islington, north London. It is on the Gospel Oak to Barking line, 3 miles 65 chains (6.1 km) from St Pancras (measured via Kentish Town and Mortimer Street Junction)[2] and is situated between Upper Holloway and Harringay Green Lanes.

The National Location Code (NLC) for this station is 7406.[3]

Design

Crouch Hill station in 1984

The station has two platforms, one for each direction. Platform 1 is for trains toward Gospel Oak and platform 2 is for trains toward Template:LUL stations. This station does not have a ticket office except for the security office, which is not officially part of the station but is next to the stairs to one of the platforms. However, staff are present on the platforms during the hours trains are running. This station has two ticket and two Oyster card machines; one for each platform as well as two waiting rooms. This station has a shelter on each platform. The platforms are only reachable by stairs.[4]

There are no current plans to introduce lift access. The station was briefly equipped with APTIS ticketing equipment in 1988/89.[citation needed]

Services

Since January 2010, trains run every 15 minutes in each direction, towards either Gospel Oak or Template:LUL stations throughout the day. All trains from the station are operated by London Overground. The typical off-peak service in trains per hour (tph) is:

  • 4 tph westbound to Gospel Oak[5]
  • 4 tph eastbound to Barking[5]

Between 16 May 2016 and February 2017, the line was closed east of South Tottenham from 6 June and completely from 24 September as part of planned electrification work, with buses replacing trains. Weekday trains resumed from February 2017.

Connections

Whilst the station has no direct interchange to a tube station, Template:LUL stations station is a fifteen-minute walk away along Stroud Green Road. Archway tube station is also a twenty-minute walk away. There is also a direct bus link - London Buses route W7.[6]

London Bus routes 210;[7] W3[citation needed] and W7[6] serve the station.
