Design
Crouch Hill station in 1984

The station has two platforms, one for each direction. Platform 1 is for trains toward Gospel Oak and platform 2 is for trains toward Barking. This station does not have a ticket office except for the security office, which is not officially part of the station but is next to the stairs to one of the platforms. However, staff are present on the platforms during the hours trains are running. This station has two ticket and two Oyster card machines; one for each platform as well as two waiting rooms. This station has a shelter on each platform. The platforms are only reachable by stairs.[4]

There are no current plans to introduce lift access. The station was briefly equipped with APTIS ticketing equipment in 1988/89.

Services

Since January 2010, trains run every 15 minutes in each direction, towards either Gospel Oak or Barking throughout the day. All trains from the station are operated by London Overground. The typical off-peak service in trains per hour (tph) is:

  • 4 tph westbound to Gospel Oak[5]
  • 4 tph eastbound to Barking[5]

Between 16 May 2016 and February 2017, the line was closed east of South Tottenham from 6 June and completely from 24 September as part of planned electrification work, with buses replacing trains. Weekday trains resumed from February 2017.
