History

Located in Walthamstow, St. James Street station opens onto the street of the same name. This section of the A1006 route is the local high street. Shoppers have an easy route from the southernmost end of the market to the railway station, which provides a fast and regular route to the top of the market at Walthamstow Central or into central London at Liverpool Street.

After the transfer of the "West Anglian" portion of the former West Anglia Great Northern franchise to National Express East Anglia, the station was redeveloped. A dual staircase was constructed, allowing passengers to access the platform without passing through the main body of the station itself, and permitting the ticket office to be locked overnight. These have been closed off since the transfer to London Overground in 2015 to enforce a new ticket barrier inside the station which is staffed during all opening hours.

Services

Trains are operated as part of the Weaver line of the London Overground.

The typical off-peak weekday service pattern is:

• 4 trains per hour (tph) to London Liverpool Street;
• 4 tph to Chingford.

Connections

London Buses routes 158, 212, 230, 275, W11 and 675 serve the station.
