Hadley Wood railway station is in the London Borough of Enfield in north London, England. The station is in Travelcard Zone 6 and serves the suburb of Hadley Wood; it is managed and served by Great Northern.

The station has four platforms, but only the outer ones are in everyday use, with Great Northern services stopping there. Fast services use the central tracks and do not stop at the station. Parts of the inner platforms have recently been resurfaced, although they are only used in emergency.

History

The station was opened on 1 May 1885 by the Great Northern Railway (GNR).[2]

Facilities

There is a Shere self-service ticket machine at the station entrance, installed in Autumn 2008 and replacing the previous (Avantix) machine.

Oyster Cards can be used to and from this station in the southbound direction, it being the northernmost station on the route that they are valid to.

Services

Great Northern train services

The service to Moorgate is operated using class 313 EMUs.

The typical off-peak service is three trains an hour to Moorgate, reduced to two after 7:00 pm. Night and weekend trains run every 30 minutes. There are three trains an hour to Welwyn Garden City, reduced to two in the late evenings and at weekends.[3] Late night & weekend trains formerly ran to Kings Cross rather than onto the Northern City Line prior to the December 2015 timetable change, but following consultations with stakeholders a weekend service to Moorgate has now been introduced.[4]
