Match Day Special Train Services
The station is heavily used on match day football games for local side Tottenham Hotspur and there is a match day special timetable for this station with some trains arriving and departing every few minutes from the station. On match days, three hours before kick-off, trains from Hertford East, Bishops Stortford and sometimes even Cambridge and Stansted Airport call at White Hart Lane. This also continues for two hours after the match, with trains starting and terminating here as well.
The railway station is the nearest to the stadium as it is about three minutes walk away from Tottenham Hotspur's ground, White Hart Lane. The special timetables are usually the same but recently trains from Liverpool Street skip out the stops between the London terminus and White Hart Lane station and sometimes they will also pass Seven Sisters station which has London Underground links.
The station is also near to Bruce Castle Park, at which the annual Tottenham Carnival is held, usually in mid-June.

“Men like me are impossible until the day when they become necessary.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“The rebellion is against time pollution, the feeling that the essence of what makes life worth living—the small moments, the special family getaways, the cookies in the oven, the weekend drives, the long dreamlike summers Mso much of this has been taken from us, or we have given it up. For what? Hitachi stereos? Club Med? Company cars? Racquetball? For fifteen-hour days and lousy day care?”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends I’ll not be knowing,
Yet there isn’t a train I wouldn’t take,
No matter where it’s going.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
