London Overground

Until further notice (except during planned line closures), there is a reduced service every day between Gospel Oak and Barking. This is due to a lack of available trains. Trains will run about every 30 minutes.

However, the first of our newly introduced trains may provide additional services, resulting in an increased frequency. For train times, please check National Rail Enquiries on the day of travel.

From 22:45 tonight, Thursday 6 June, there will be no service between Hackney Downs and Cheshunt / Enfield Town. This is due to Network Rail track work. Rail replacement buses will run.
