Angel Road railway station is in the London Borough of Enfield at Edmonton, and is in Travelcard Zone 4, on the Tottenham Hale branch of the Lea Valley Lines. The station, and all trains serving it, is operated by Abellio Greater Anglia. It is partially beneath the A406 road flyover of Meridian Way. The station is accessed via a footpath from Conduit Lane, another flyover to the north.
The station has no help desk staff. Its immediate surroundings are entirely non-manufacturing industrial businesses and a former gas works, and it is the second-least used in London on 2012/13 figures, after Sudbury & Harrow Road railway station.However, according to entry-exit data from the Office of Rail and Road Regulation in the 2015-16 period the station was the least used in the London area.
Angel Road is only served by a small number of trains every weekday to and from Stratford. No services operate at the station on weekends or public holidays.
The station was opened on 15 September 1840 by the Northern and Eastern Railway as Edmonton although it was situated 0.75 miles (1.21 km) from the village.
The Northern and Eastern Railway was leased by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1844 who took over operation of the line. The line was initially laid to a gauge of 5 ft (1,524 mm) but already this had been identified as non standard and between 5 September and 7 October 1844 the whole network was re-laid to 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge.
The station was renamed as Water Lane on 1 March 1849 by the Eastern Counties Railway when the station became a junction station with the branch to Lower Edmonton (low level) railway station to the north west being opened.
