Why didn't they think of that when they were building the Victoria line? At the time the Goblin was probably earmarked for closure, like the North London Line. |

Oh you've wrecked the criteria! I was going to suggest St Ann's Road / Seven Sisters Road on the GOBLIN as well as Forest Road, Winchester Road and Chingford Hatch on the Chingford - Liverpool St line. These extra stations would hugely increase the catchment areas for these lines even though I recognise they would slow overall journey times. You could decrease journey times to Chingford by builiding a new terminus on the south side of Kings Road. This new station would have a catchment area which was 100% houses, whereas the current station's catchment area is 70% trees. You could also make a fortune by building houses on the line north of Kings Road. If Network Rail were feeling suitably insane they could build an interchange station at Ferry Lane Estate where the GOBLIN cross the Lea Valley line via Tottenham Hale. Obviously not every Lea Valley train could stop as it's reduce line capacity but the locals to Hertford East could possibly provide a half decent service. Since the Goblin largely parallels the Victoria Line, with which the line interchanges at Tottenham Hale, I don't see this one stacking up. A station at Pickett's Lock was proposed for a while in connection with the 2005 World Athletics Championships, but it would also be the nearest station for a fair number of houses. An Enfield Highway station on Carterhatch Lane. Station ideas which have been bounced around by official bodies include Wingletye Lane Little Ilford Ventnor Road, Sutton Brent Cross Thameslink "Great West Road" between Kew Bridge and Brentford Mitre Bridge, North Pole, Stamford Bridge (Fulham Road), and Battersea High Street on the WLL Old Oak on the NLL |
