Walthamstow Queen's Road railway station is a London Overground station on the Suffragette line between Blackhorse Road and Leyton Midland Road stations, 8 miles 7 chains (13.0 km) down the line from Gospel Oak. It is in London fare zone 3.

History

[edit]

It opened as "Walthamstow" on 9 July 1894 and was renamed on 6 May 1968 under British Rail.[4][5]

Design

[edit]

There is step-free access from the street to both platforms.

Location

[edit]

The station stands on Edinburgh Road (not Queens Road) facing Walthamstow (Queens Road) Cemetery.

The station is about 330 yards (300 m) from Walthamstow Central station on the Weaver line and there is a direct footpath link between the two stations via a new exit onto Exeter Road. The footpath link, which opened in August 2014, is called Ray Dudley Way in commemoration of a local man who campaigned for the link for many years.[6]

[edit]

All services at Walthamstow Queen's Road are operated by London Overground using Class 710 EMUs.

The typical off-peak service is four trains per hour in each direction between Gospel Oak and Barking Riverside. During the late evenings, the service is reduced to three trains per hour in each direction.[7]
