History

Bush Hill Park, looking south towards central London, in 1961

The station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway in 1880[4] following housing development plans arranged by the North London Estates Company.[5] Development in the area expanded after the railway station was opened.[6]

During morning and evening peak times, service frequency is increased, typically to four trains per hour in each direction. On Tottenham Hotspur football match-days, additional trains run, but not all of them continue to Liverpool Street, with some starting/terminating at White Hart Lane or Seven Sisters.
