Crouch Hill
Brand new 710 269 departing from Crouch Hill station with a truncated London Overground GOBLIN service from Gospel Oak to South Tottenham, on 3rd February 2020. Services are currently suspended between South Tottenham and Barking due to a freight train derailment between Walthamstow Queens Road and Leyton Midland Road stations that occurred at 6 a.m. on 23rd January 2020, which damaged two and a half miles of track. Network Rail has established that 39 new pieces of rail, each 126 metres long, will need to be installed along the affected section along with the replacement of 5,300 concrete sleepers, 900 wooden sleepers and 10,000 tonnes of ballast. Services are not expected to resume for several weeks; a replacement bus service is in operation between Walthamstow Central station (not actually on the GOBLIN) and Barking. Passengers between Walthamstow and South Tottenham have been advised to use the LUL Victoria Line between Walthamstow Central and Seven Sisters (close to South Tottenham) and which serves Blackhorse Road, another of the GOBLIN stations without a service at the moment.
