The new Meridian Water station, still under construction, seen from the south end of the doomed Angel Road station, on 29th March 2019. The station is due to open on 19th May 2019 when Angel Road will close. According to the latest edition of 'Today's Railways' magazine, Meridian Water will at first only be served by the same number of trains currently calling at Angel Road - which means that for most of the day, people wishing to visit the retail outlets for which the new station is ideally placed, will still have to make their way by bus, which is a bit ridiculous. The vast area of current wasteland on the west side of the line at this location is earmarked for new housing so, presumably, when that is completed, Meridian Water's service will be upgraded to all day. Also, the new shuttle service from the bay platform to Stratford that was supposed to start with the station's opening in May, is now not going to start until September 2019 as also indicated in the report in 'Today's Railways'. Will the station actually open in May - or will there be another delay, a la Crossrail?
