Grange Park
Grange Park station on the GNR Hertford North Loop, now in commercial use, on 30th October 2019. The station is still open and passengers enter and exit through the gate on the right. Although situated on the original 1871 section of the GNR's Enfield branch, the station did not open until 1910 when the line was extended from Enfield to Cuffley during the first stage of its incorporation into the Hertford North Loop. To avoid a level crossing at Enfield, the extension began just to the south and to the east of the tracks leading to the 1871 terminus to enable the new line to gain height and cross Windmill Hill by bridge with a new station at Enfield (later Enfield Chase). Grange Park station was opened at the same time. The site of the 1871 station at Enfield became a goods yard and carriage sidings which survived for many years but all were swept away in the 1970s and a vast housing estate now covers the entire site,
