Turkey Street
315808 with a London Overground service from Liverpool Street to Cheshunt departing from Turkey Street station, serving a much built-up area of residential eastern Enfield, on 1st January 2020. After the line and station (previously known as Forty Hill) reopened in 1960, and until the Lea Valley Line was electrified in 1969, all trains from Liverpool Street to Bishop's Stortford came this way, running fast to Lower Edmonton (now Edmonton Green), and then all stations, giving those on what is now the Southbury Loop a very good service of reasonably fast trains to and from London (an additional stop was included at Seven Sisters when that station became an interchange with the Victoria Line in 1968.) Since those days, the Loop has had only an all-stations service to and from Cheshunt, thus making it longer to get to and from London and since 30th May 2015, operated by TfL as part of London Overground, hence the roundel running-in board.
