Southbury
Southbury station entrance on 21st January 2023. It was opened as Churchbury with the Chuchbury Loop from Lower Edmonton (now Edmonton Green) on the Enfield Town line to Cheshunt on the Lea Valley Line on 1st October 1891. Passenger services ceased from 30th September 1909 due to tramway competition but the line was reopened on 1st March 1915 mostly for workers to the factories on the Hertford Road during WWI but closed again on 30th June 1919. 41 years passed before a new dawn arrived on 21st November 1960 when it was reopened by BR Eastern Region as part of the electrification of lines in north and north-east London. Churchbury was renamed Southbury and the line became the Southbury Loop. This building had been used commercially while closed so very little need for renovation. This line and station have been part of the TfL-operated London Overground system since 31st May 2015.
