Harringay Green Lanes railway station is a railway station in Harringay, north London. It is on the Gospel Oak to Barking Line between Crouch Hill and South Tottenham.
Trains run every 15 minutes in each direction, towards either Gospel Oak or Barking. All passenger services from the station are operated by London Overground. The lines through the station are also used frequently by freight trains. Electrification work on the route (including bridge rebuilding, track lowering and platform lengthening) has seen the service suspended on weekends for a year from June 2016, whilst weekday services terminated at South Tottenham until 23 September; thereafter there were no trains at all until February 2017 (when weekday services resumed).
London Buses routes 29, 141 and 341 and night route N29 serve the station.
It was opened on 1 June 1880 with the name Green Lanes, but has since been renamed a number of times:
There were originally wooden platform buildings, which were replaced by brick and concrete structures in the 1950s. The original ticket office at street level survived and in recent times has been converted into a café. To cope with the huge number of passengers visiting Harringay Stadium and Arena, both right next to the station, very long platforms were provided, but these were shortened in late 2003 due to subsidence. Just west of the station was the goods yard; this closed on 3 February 1964, and is now Railway Fields nature reserve.
