The Station Today
A short distance the west of the station, on the far side of the A10, there is a single east-to-north turnout towards Seven Sisters. To allow this to be reached by westbound trains, there is a facing crossover, located in the platform area.
A short distance to the east of the station, there is a double turnout branching to the south, to reach the eastern route of the two north-south Lea Valley Lines. Visually from the platforms, this looks like it is the main line, since the main tracks curve to the north from the junction. (In fact, it was the original main line, since the Tottenham and Forest Gate Railway eastwards was a later addition.)
The station has been receiving investment, following station management passing to London Overground in 2007.
