Crouch Hill railway station is a London Overground station on Crouch Hill in the London Borough of Islington, north London. It is on the Gospel Oak to Barking line, 3.8 miles (6.1 km) from St Pancras (measured via Kentish Town and Mortimer Street Junction)[2] and is situated between Upper Holloway and Harringay Green Lanes.

The National Location Code (NLC) for this station is 7406.[3]

Design

[edit]

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 Riverside. 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.[citation needed]

Services

[edit]

All services at Crouch Hill 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.[5][6]
