Southbury railway station is in the London Borough of Enfield in North London, in Travelcard Zone 5, on the Southbury loop of the Lea Valley Lines. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by London Overground. ==History== The line from Bury Street Junction, north of Edmonton Green, to Cheshunt was opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 1 October 1891 when this station opened as Churchbury. The line was known as the Churchbury Loop. The district was still predominantly rural, and the coming of the tram to Waltham Cross in 1904 saw the railway unable to compete. Passenger services ceased on 1 October 1909, but were reinstated for munitions workers between 1 March 1915 and 1 July 1919. After that the line was used only by goods trains until electrified as part of a wider scheme, and the station reopened as Southbury on 21 November 1960.〔White, H.P., ''A Regional History of the Railways of Great Britain Volume 3 Greater London'', David & Charles, 1987〕 The line is now known as the Southbury Loop. The goods yard closed in 1970.〔Brown, Joe, ''London Railway Atlas'', page 5, Ian Allan Publishing, 2006〕 On 31 May 2015 the station and all services that call here, transferred from Abellio Greater Anglia to London Overground Rail Operations.〔(TFL appoints London Overground operator to run additional services ) Transport for London 28 May 2014〕〔(TfL count on LOROL for support ) ''Rail Professional'' 28 May 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southbury railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
